[QUOTE="AndrewR, post: 55628, member: 472"] [b]Cheeseball:[/b] - That idea by far might be the easiest thing to do. As far as durability is concerned, I have no idea but it seems like it will work. I did try wedging in a block of triangular shaped wood under where the troller mounts but doing it that way the motor nor mount would hold together in place. I like the idea though! [b]Waterwings:[/b] - Exactly what I was thinking as well. If I were to get something like that done, I would obviously receive some help. This might be the strongest and most durable way to do it.

[b]Bassboy:[/b] - Yes, I've got the powerdrive which is mounted up at the front. I have tried controlling it from the back end of the boat by extending the cable and foot pedal out but I just don't get the same exact precise boat control as I do with the transom mounted trolling motor. Everyone else, thanks for the replies thus far! :D [/QUOTE]
