I’ve been using them for years. Even before there were octopus style weedless hooks we used the old weedless long shank Eagle claw. They do work quite well.
You can mount it on the bow if that’s where you want it. You’ll have to fabricate a mount for it if you can’t clamp it over the gunnel. Closer to center is best. Loosen the screw below the head on the motor and you can swivel it around 180’ for a bow mount.
Mine is clamped over the gunnel...
There should be a nipple on the rear starboard side of the motor where the water pees out. That is the tell tail. Fish it out with something. It can get plugged up with weeds and gunk.

This is my new boat. Tracker Pro Guide V175 Combo. I did the break in on the motor on Saturday morning and played in it the rest of the weekend.
