Seems you have a few options for your Motor Guide Brute 750. I just researched Evil Bay and found a top for $8 dollars for your trolling motor. OR you could even make another one out of some fiberglass and resin. Use a piece of Styrofoam, cut and sand it just like you want it. Then cover it with fiberglass clothe and resin and then once you have it as thick as you want it, pour some lacquer thinner or acetone and the foam will dissolve and leave you a new cover. Sand, paint and there you go...easy!
