[QUOTE="jethro, post: 471611, member: 12381"] Bass boats or flat deck boats use a completely different design than what a deep V boat uses. A bass boat uses a deck mount, or a big mount that lays flat on the deck. An aluminum deep V, such as my coldwater trolling boat uses a much smaller mount designed for a small deck. Both the new offereings from Garmin and Lowrance are fairly specific to bass boat or flat deck boats. The deck mounts also are designed to retrieve by standing over them and pulling a rope to retract them. I would need a 6' step ladder on the deck of my boat to do that. My boat is one of the deepest V hulls an aluminum boat can be. Here is an example of a motor that mounts to a deep v: [img]https://buckhornridgeoutfitters.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/motorguide_wireless_trolling_motor_mounted_2-1.jpg[/img] As opposed to a deck mount: [img]https://cdn.eastcapeskiffs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/TROLLING-MOTOR-EAST-CAPE-SKIFFS-BOAT-IMAGE-GALLERY-CUSTOM-BOAT-BUILDER-FISHING-SKIFF-MANUFACTURER-fed9435f74-780x780.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
