Has anyone used a trolling motor on a capri?

[hoobs]

I have a 94 bayliner capri.....I use it mostly for fishing and I was wondering if anyone out there has put a trolling motor on theirs? If so where? how? and do you like it? Thanks.

I am restoring my 89 capri, and thought very seriously about putting a foot controled trolling motor on the bow of mine. To do so, I was going to remove the navigation light, and install some flush mount side lights. That would allow me enough room on the front to install the trolling motor. Hope this helps...

Hi, this was a option on a 1997 1954 fish/ski. You may want to contact a bayliner dealer about the motor mount. This is a picture of a factory install. Hope it gives you some ideas. Goodluck!

I have a 99 1750BR Capri outfitted with a trolling motor on the port side of the bow. I'll snap some pictures of the mounts. I have never used it as I got the boat this winter and have only taken it out twice...I had other stuff to try out.
