[QUOTE="atuck593, post: 237945, member: 4904"] I have two small questions that hopefully will be easy to answer. I have a Minn Kota 50lb thrust transom mount trolling motor. I want to mount it to the bow of my v hull boat. I rigged a system last year where it was bolted to the side of the boat near the bow but it was a pain to get the motor in the water once I got to my fishing spot. I had to lean over the side (dangerous) and loosen the screws and drop the motor in the water ( a lot of noise ). I see that Minn Kota has a bow mount trolling motor with a tiller handle on it. I would like to get the bracket that bow mount trolling motors use and rig mine to fit in it. ( Here's question 1 )I would think that a Minn Kota model would fit in a Minn Kota bracket but will my Minn Kota fit in a Motor Guide bracket? (Question 2) Where can I find a Minn Kota version of this gator bracket? I have found Motor Guide versions on e-bay but no Minn Kota models. [/QUOTE]
