[QUOTE="atuck593, post: 238125, member: 4904"] I did do something like that last summer with a 2 x 4 and an angle brackets. It really worked well in the fact that the trolling motor pulled the boat much better than it pushed it from the transom. It was also easier to control. The only concern/problem I had was leaning that far forward ( It is a v hull boat ) to loosen everything up and drop the motor in the water. That's why I was looking for the "gator" bracket part with a trick rope to just drop the whole motor in the water in one easy step. I have a picture below... and I have found a couple on e-bay for $50 compared to new ones that cost about $300 bucks. I am just wondering if they are one size fits all. Could I just clamp mine into it and go or will Motor Guide only work with a Motor Guide TM. Sorry for seeming to be difficult about this, but I am just curious to know if this will work before I go and buy one online, pay to have it shipped, only to find out it won't fit. [/QUOTE]
