[QUOTE="Codeman, post: 101080, member: 146"] Ok so I got this trolling motor mount from my neighbor/ boat mechanic from his huge pile of old outboard parts. I believe he said it was an Evinrude/ Johnson trolling motor, its like new. He was asking $25 fair enough. Then I paid a visit to my local machinist that for some reason really likes me, he turned me a bushing to make my Minkota shaft fit in the Johnnyrude bracket from deralin that he had from a previous project, price nothing. Can't beat that. OK so now that the trolling motor fits the bracket I need to make it function on the deck of the boat. So today we made up an aluminum box out of 1/4 inch plate, nice and solid to bolt to the deck . So here is where I am so far. I love how clean this looks. I do have a question, what is the best way to determine how deep to set the trolling motor? This measurement will dictate where the base will mount.
