[QUOTE="user 7806, post: 262048, member: 7806"] I finally decided on the location and how I wanted to mount the trolling motor. It will be mounted on a piece of 5/8" plywood which will be sitting on an aluminum frame made of aluminum angle. I cut some angle and mocked up the mounting pedestal to see if everything clears [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC04248.JPG"]37460._xfImport[/ATTACH] Rear view with the plywood in place. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC04250.JPG"]37461._xfImport[/ATTACH] We riveted the base together [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC04251.JPG"]37464._xfImport[/ATTACH] Added some cross bracing on the front and the back. The front is at an angle, the 2 front legs didn't match up so they could be crossed braced so we replaced the outside angle with 1" square tubing so we were then able to cross brace it. The support base will be tied to the gunwale for support when it's finished. I'm planning on using the space under the mount for small parts storage. [/QUOTE]
