[QUOTE="mcontrer82, post: 259361, member: 7989"] Hey guys, I have a 14ft alumacraft and I have a transom mount trolling motor that I want to mount to the bow. I know there are several posts on this topic. I do not have a deck so I was trying to figure out how to mount the motor to the boat itself. Let me know what you think about my idea and sketch. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks. Here is what I am thinking. I was going to using carpeted 2x4's. I would mount one to the the bow of the boat, vertically. I would cut an angle into the front of the 2x4 to fit up against the front of the boat. I would mount it using toggle bolts like I did with the plywood to my bench seats. Then I would use an angled bracket to attach another plywood going up from there. Then I would use two flat brackets to attach a small horizontal piece of 2x4 to actually mount the motor to. Here is the sketch. [/QUOTE]
