[QUOTE="J.P., post: 275695, member: 5999"] i can't see the issue. you simply mount your TM so it drops down at the front, offset to port or starboard... you may have the impression that TMs on pointy boats are mounted to side, but the reason for it is the hassle of mounting dead center....the tip/center of the bow could have a cleat, nav lights, bow/anchor line, a hatch, etc. etc...... a lot of stuff happening at the bow, so most boats have the TM mounted off center, where it doesn't interfere with anything..... if an electric motor is your main propulsion, it's better to have a transom mount....you'd see most electric only boats have two motors.. one at the back for motoring, one at the front for fishing.....
