[QUOTE="BaitCaster, post: 144857, member: 2895"] After some more thought on the bow mount for the trolling motor I realized that the simplest solution is usually the best one. So I cut two 12 inch lengths of 2x 4 and ripped them down to the 3 inch width of the bow lip. I glued them together and bolted them to the bow with 1/2 inch hex bolts. I treated the wood with Thompson's water seal and will probably paint it black or green, if I can find a matching colour. Now I have the option of running the trolling motor on the bow or on the stern. So far it seems pretty solid, but we will see how it performs on the water. The next thing I am going to have to do is run an extension wire from my battery (in the stern) to the motor in the bow. I don't imagine there is any magic to that. [/QUOTE]
