Does anyone have any experience putting a foot trolling motor on the side when it is in the water rather than in the middle. If anyone has done this let me know if it is fine or runs funny. Thank you
 
Several f the members have done what you are thinking about it is a good idea and keep the center deck are clear for you..
Do a search in the boat mods section I think Bassboy1 did his that way and did a great job

My page is in my sig. You can see it there if you wish.

I would definitely do it again. On "vee" boats, it makes sense to put it in the middle, but on jons, and mod vees, I see no reason to. There is really no noticeable difference in performance, but it does clear up a lot of space. And, if you mount it to where the head hangs over the side, you will be forever hanging up on docks, and other stuff driving down the road.
