[QUOTE="Big Aug, post: 348746, member: 10547"] Hey fellas quick question == I recently purchased and mounted a new min kota trolling motor on my 16' MonArk. The troll has 55 lbs thrust, and I mounted her to my bow as indicated in the picture. What I did not account for is that when I crank the troll, the deck that I mounted her to would flex and bow. After a test run the other day, I am not comfortable with the amount of flex in the decking each time I stepped on it. Any recommendations on how to efficiently correct this hitch would be greatly appreciated. Please send pics and detailed instructions, not assuming that I know what the heck I am doing... :D [/QUOTE]
