If you could, give me some details on the process of flipping the head as that would be optimal. It could get annoying having to remember to use it in reverse. Thanks.

No problem. I'll have to let ya'll kno whow it works out when I get the chance.

As long as it'll hold 3 or 4 i'm good. Should hold 5 or 6 though I figure.

Here's a link to my idea plus some photos of other people's ideas regarding your question. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12833

Nice Boat. Looks kind a familiar...lol, I have the same boat, or one really darn close. Here's a link to what I've done with mine. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11121 Lots of photos to give you ideas, and more to come very soon. Mine has the center bench removed too...

I would actually check at Lowes, Home Depot, or even an auto parts store for large rubber grommets, these are used to route wires through vehicle bulkheads (usually metal) and are to prevent the sharp metal from cutting the wire. If they have one large enough for your application, use it...

Here's a link to the trolling motor bracket if anyone is interested in how I made it. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12833 I used a standard clamp on troller and converted it to bow mount, it's still tiller steer, but I'm ok with that.
