Mounting transom trolling motor on bow

[DyerBassman]

I have a transom trolling motor that I want to mount on the bow. I have reversed the head already, but I am looking for some input/ideas on how to mount it. I have a 12' Alumcraft semi-v, and I cant seem to make the angles work for a simple mounting spot. Thanks!

There's a guy on the site here I believe, that might sell some brackets for just that.

I saw those. Won't work on mine. My front deck isn't high enough.

Cabela's lists a product called the ProControll EZ Mount Trolling Motor Mounting Plate that is made to do pretty much you want to do. Take a look as it might help or give you some other ideas.

I have not heard anything good about those. And they seem to have bad reviews. Thanks though!

Ive built an L bracket out of wood that worked for mine once...

I'm assuming you have the "rolled lip" gunnel?

Scroll down to Trolling Motor Mount.
I haven't used them and I wonder how strong they are... but certainly an option.

Pm Bassboy1 (one of our sponsors) he's got some nice looking powder coated ones.
