bow motor mount for inflatable

[BC STS]

Does anyone know if it is possible to put a bow mount electric trolling motor on a 14' aquamarine inflatable with 50 cm tubes. I'm thinking it would be ideal to mount it on the bow so i can troll in a straight line and I'm also worried if I mount it on the transom it will be too much weight on the transom board and may also lead to excessive lifting of the bow along with a 25hp yamaha (105 lbs) and possibly 1 or 2 downriggers and rod holders. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Weaver Industries offers mounts for inflatables that can be used for that purpose.

Thanks for the link tohatsu guru but I could not find any bow motor mounts on the web site. Are you suggesting that I somehow use the downrigger mounts to mount the motor? Those fishing rod holder and downrigger mounts look great but I will be fully deflating my boat after every use so they won't work for me since they don't appear to be detachable.
