I have an old OMC bow mount trolling motor, unknown thrust, that came with my boat. The steering cables and foot pedal became inoperable. I came across a great deal on a Motorguide Brute 767 for $200. The Motorguide came with a Gator Mount that is in not so good shape.
The Question is : Do you think the mount from the OMC would work O.K. for the new motor? Or should I try to get a new Gator Mount? The Gator Mount is much beefier than the OMC but is also quite a bit heavier maybe twice as heavy in weight. The OMC mount is in great shape and will physically hold the new motor shaft.
Hopefully someone on this board is familiar with both mounts.
Any Ideas if this would work?
Thanks!!
