Bow trolling motor mount with help from DrNip

[Dark3]

Here is the welded mount with thanks to DrNip for taking his personal time to help me with measurements and such.

View attachment 1View attachment 2 8x14" of mountable surface which should provide just a tad of wiggle room for a Xi5 mount.

That's great man! Top notch looking. Wish I would have just done mine that way. Way simpler design that gets the job done. Looks like you gave just enough room to get to the nuts underneath. Sorry I didn't get back with you on the rest of the pics. Didn't get home until late and when I tried taking pics of it out in the dark it didn't look right. Next day I had to roll out early on vacation!

I actually like yours better lo. Thanks again!

Thank you. Get some pics up when you get it mounted.

The TM fit like a glove. The mounting plate, quick release bracket, receptacle, and the pinpoint TM all worked flawlessly on the maiden voyage. I spent the entire day targeting SM in open water and shoals at Onieda Lake up here in NNY. Nothing like these Northern SM

Edit: 12 hours on the water spot locking and use in current and weeds + 2 interstate 29's + about 10ft total of 10GA power wire = Batteries light still green.
