Hi, I'm new here and I have a few questions about trolling motors. I have been researching them and bow mounted units just seem too expensive. I was wondering what the deal was with the transom mount units that you sometimes see with the handles flipped around and mounted on the front with a mount like this one http://www.customgheenoe.com/gallery2/v/Shop+Options/custom-gheenoe-trolling-motor-mount-1-lg.jpg.html. Does the top part of the trolling motor just have set screws that can be loosened to rotate the head or something. Just looking to save a little money. Thanks.

Remove a small bolt and nut and rotate the head. Then reinstall the bolt and nut. On some you can rotate the motor.

Hey thanks for the help to both of you. I was wondering though if anyone had pictures of their's if they rigged it up this way.
