2004 Alumacraft Lunker

[Dkotarski]

Recently became the proud owner of a 2004 Alumacraft Lunker 165. Was going to install a minn kots power drive trolling motor on the front but there's not a lot of room to mount it some what straight off the bow.
It seems I have to mount it more of an angle across the bow. Any feed back on putting it more left of center and straighter would be helpful. Thank you!!!

I prefer to mount them at an an angle so the front deck is clear when they are stowed.

Most bow mounted trolling motors are mounted on an angle, like a typical bass boat setup. That's also how I mounted a Minn Kota Terrova on my 1974 Sears Semi-V row boat.

When mounting a trolling motor on an angle, just be sure that it won't hit the dock due to too much of the motor hanging over the side of the boat.

I had the same boat and mine was mounted at an angle-left of center-it will take up too much bow space if mounted in the center.
