Is this an open v hull ?
I have always made my own , although there are options out there .

I made a small deck for the front of my Appleby v hull , to this I mounted 2 pieces of large .125 aluminum , both angle stock . I used a piece of 2x6 and another of 5/4 decking for the mout surface , counter sinking holes where the 2 screw clamps seat . this minimizes the chance of the thing going " walkabout " on you .

Re: Bow Mount For Jon Boat

is it a bow mount or transom mount trolling motor? If it's an open deck, either way you'll need to mount some wood to clamp it to.

This is a duplicate of a thread already moved to Trollers.

That is why we have a forum for Electrics, Electronics and Trolling Motors, Pudge.

Why not just use the correct forum and ask your question only once??
