[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 124877, member: 2148"] Got the Trolling Motor Mount and Motor Installed and Wired. The bracket seams really stable. I guess we'll see how it works. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Motor Mount.JPG"]10945._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Trolling Motor.JPG"]10946._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Trolling Motor Stowed.JPG"]10947._xfImport[/ATTACH] The original boat had a regular 3 prong plug on it. I decided to rewire it with 8 gauge and use it for a TM plug. Seams to work pretty well and didn't cost me a dime. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Trolling Motor Plug.JPG"]10948._xfImport[/ATTACH] I also got all my wiring done, and wired into the panel. Forgot pics of the panel but I'll get some for next post. I decided to heat shrink each wire and the put another head shrink over the combined cable. Seamed to work good.....and I got to test out my new $10 heat gun(boy Harbor Freight gets addicting) :LOL2: [ATTACH type="full" alt="heat Shrink 1.JPG"]10950._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="heat Shrink 2.JPG"]10951._xfImport[/ATTACH] I also wired the trailer lights in. Thanks to those that had the ideas of running the wires through the tongue of the trailer. I was able to fish everyting through. It sure beats the tire wraps they previous owner had on it. I also was able to bend up the new sheet metal to close in some areas that were open previously behind the seat, next the motor and raise up the area between the seats.
