[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 347612, member: 1417"] This is my 2006 Tracker. You can see how the factory trolling motor mount was installed. I don't like the way it works because the mount has to be over the edge of the boat in order for the TM to be vertical. The edge of the mount tears the coat cover. I repositioned it once trying to make it more perpendicular with the edge of the boat and it helped a little. If the sled on the motor was a little longer the mount could be placed back from the edge enough so as not to tear the cover. I think I'll try again this spring to fix it. If you're making one you could use aluminum sheeting and screws or pop rivets to put it together. A couple of pieces of sheet stock and a couple of pieces of angle to connect the corner and provide a flange to mount to the deck and you'd be in business.
