Trolling Motor

[deppong]

I have a Minnkota Trolling Motor with a Transom Mount. I would like to use it on <br />the front of my Fiberglas boat. Is there a conversion kit that anyone knows of that <br />will allow me to mount this in a bow mount fashion. Or does anyone have <br />another solution?<br /><br />Thanks!

I rigged up my own on my old Larson. Made a bracket out of wood that worked just fine. May not have been the prettiest, but it worked.

deppong<br />If you mount the transom mount on the bow you will need to turn the "head" 180 deg. Not a big deal, you can do it, unless you plan to troll transom first.<br />Backfire

I did the samething, mounted my transom mount at the front of my boat built a wooden bracket and turned the head 180 degrees. Also had to lengthen the shaft which was 52" to 80" this was quite a formidable undertaking but fun and saved myself a few hundred dollars. Minkota 36lb thrust.<br />Terry.
