I am trying to decide how to position the TM on my mod v. Bow comes to a point. Should the TM come down right at the point or should it be off-center for some reason. I want to position it so that everything lays inside the rail when in the stored position but don't want it to totally mess up the walk-around space of the front deck. TM is a motorguide FW71FB 71#, 45" shaft, foot controlled.

As long as you get it close it really doesnt matter IMO. You got the control to move it wherever you want, mine is alittle to the left and it is just fine.
