[QUOTE="Gamefisher, post: 11164, member: 78"] Late last summer I bought a vintage bow-mount Minn-kota cheap. It was sold as needing a control cable, but all it needed was a set screw to retain the cable in the housing, and I found the set screw loose when I opened it up! So today I started building the mount for it. Started with a piece of 3/4" ply, cut it to shape, and test-fit the motor. I am not sure how I want to secure it to the boat yet though. Just some brackets to the side? A couple of 2x4s across? In that case I could either put a couple screws right into the end of the 2x4, or would it be better to use a bracket with 4 bolts through the hull on each side? I would appreciate any suggestions.
