Hey guys,
Been reading a lot on the forum, thanks to everyone who contributes. Finally getting ready to make some decisions and start working on my deck. I have a pretty shallow v hull (pics to come), so I am going to have to be creative and make adjustments here and there. That being said, the first thing I am contemplating is my trolling motor installation. The bow has a handle welded on, so I cannot get my motor (minn kota all terrain 55lb, bow mount) mounted flush with the front of the boat. My thoughts on the solution are to rivet in a sheet of aluminum, possibly supported with plywood or angled aluminum underneath it for support (I want to limit vibration). I would then have to mount the trolling motor offset just a bit. I am stuck here, and open to any suggestions from those who have dealt with something like this before. Thanks all.
