I have a 14ft Alumacraft Mod V with a transom mount trolling motor clamped over the gunwale on one side. For the most part, it works well, but the motor is creaky and noisy, and tilts at an odd angle that is always in the way.
I'm going to buy a real bow mount trolling motor, but don't have a bow plate.
For those that had to make one, what is the best material to use? Carpeted wood?
Additionally, how do you fasten it? Screws into the gunwale?
