[QUOTE="Clint KY, post: 400325, member: 12651"] In mounting my trolling motor, how critical and/or advisable is getting the motor head closer to the centerline of the boat. The motor I removed was mounted two inches away from and parallel with the gunnel. The motor I am installing has a longer base and has many more available mounting holes. Angling the motor mount would put the motor head closer to the centerline and allow me to use more of the mounting holes. I don’t see a down-side of this but thought I would ask those who have already addressed this. What say you? Below is my crude attempt to illustrate the bow of the boat.
