[QUOTE="jethro, post: 467752, member: 12381"] Both my motors have been mounted directly to the foredeck. May I ask, what are you specifically trying to accomplish by rubber mounting the motor? They rubber mount combustion engines because of the vibration caused by the engine, but an electric trolling motor doesn't produce vibration. On my Starcraft I actually recently had to stiffen my aluminum foredeck (which is made from a stop sign) because it was flexing more than I liked. Ideally a trolling motor should have no flex to it, it should transfer all the power immediately. I would think rubber mounting it would be a mistake but I may be wrong. [/QUOTE]
