[QUOTE="richg99, post: 255922, member: 4376"] with regard to your narrow transom...I'd bet that with a 2 x 6 and some clamps, you could extend the TM outside of the gunnels on the transom. Lock it down well, of course....you might even throw a rope around the TM and tie it off permanently inside of your boat, in case it were to work loose. That said, I much prefer a bow mount. But, I fish off of the bow deck all of the time. I have an MG Endura for which I made a bracket; turned the head; and it is used at the front of my 16 ft fiberglass Carolina Skiff. If it will haul that big hull around, your little boat won't be any problem. Mine TM is a 40 lb thrust. IMHO the longer the shaft...for bow mount... the better off you are. If needed...You can get longer pull times by doubling up on your batteries and connecting them in parallel (not series). regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
