Bow Electric Motor Mounting

[JeffH]

I have the same hull and although I haven't done it yet I gave it some thought. I was thinking of removing the two chocks and front light and then mounting a half moon shaped plate on top of the rolled edge. Remount the chocks and light and now you have a platform to mounted the trolling motor, all would be removable. Not sure about the batteries, my thinking was to put them in the front locker with a plug-in similiar to the posted picture as there isn't a tunnel below deck from there to the console.

I haven't measured battery height. I just thought that the batteries were too tall to be kept in the locker.

[JeffH]

Batteries come in all shapes and sizes but I think they would fit.

I'll spec them out, was interested in the gell deep discharge.

I also have to design the shelf as you discussed. I'll post more as this evolves. I basically want to be able to use the motor for position and to troll at 2 knots.

Here you go.

Is that part of a thread?
I have the bow coaming kit on mine.

Yes it is part of a thread on reel-time.com. Oh, I see the issue with the coaming kit as you have that ridge. I there enough room outside of the ridge ?
