[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 314973, member: 4251"] I have a Terrova on a Tracker PT 175 but my boat has more metal up front on the bow to make mounting easier than what you have. Suggest you find some 1/4-1/2" aluminum plate (scrap if possible) and mount it to the boat then mount the TM to the alum plate. You can brace the backside of the alum plate down to the floor with an upright brace or something similar. Another possiblity is to get a 4x4 post and mount it that way to support the TM base (cheaper maybe). Or 2x4's. Just remember that the shaft needs clearance on the leading edge of the boat of 1' to 1 1/2" so the shaft is vertical when deployed. Love my Terrova but its a pain to mount. [/QUOTE]
