I have a 16' flat jon with a square front, and I want to mount a DIY trolling motor mount on the bow(BassNBob's design). I plan to reverse the head on my motor and use it on the bow by hand(no foot control). Where would the best spot be to mount it? If it's too far off to the side, wouldn't it be too hard to reach it and operate it? Thanks, and a pic would be great.
 
No one has an opinion? Wouldn't the motor need to be pretty close to the center of bow for me to be able to reach it, and turn left and right? Thanks
 
Yes it needs to be close to the center for best results but is still workable when offset. Best thing to do is try both ways to see what works best for you.
