[QUOTE="BaitCaster, post: 165851, member: 2895"] I initially bought my transom mount trolling motor because I had not planned to by an outboard for a while and ther ETM was going to be the only propulsion. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1844.JPG"]17751._xfImport[/ATTACH] Well, my plans changed and I ended up buying an outboard. I continued to use the ETM on the transom, mounted next to the outboard, but ultimately built a bracket to mount it on the bow. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_2240.JPG"]17750._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_2358.JPG"]17752._xfImport[/ATTACH] I have used foot controlled ETM's and I can say that I am actually more comfortable using the tiller on my motor. The boat handles much better with the ETM on the bow, rather than the sternm, especially when there is a breeze. of course, fishing from the bow is better than fishing from the stern. [/QUOTE]
