converting a transom mount to a bow mount trolling motor

[netman]

Has any one converted their transom mount motor to a bow mount trolling motor? Just curious if anyone has any tips on this.

Look under the electrical forum section and you'll find some answers too how people have made that simple change.

I did one a number of years ago. Called minn kota and ordered a bow mount. Instaslled it then put the motor in the mount.

I just bought a chunk of 3"x4" aluminum angle and used that to mount the motor. And spun the handle around.

If you turn it around, want you have to rewire it from your forward 5 speed
and 2 reverse because i did :?

No you dont, there is a screw on the bottom of the units, just turn the prop around, going forward!!

actually, all you do is take the screw out of the head, and spin the head around... the motor still has to face the same direction no matter what...
