[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 492651, member: 7021"] Mp, thanks for the pics. Yes, It did give me an idea. I could build a small deck (like your upper one) that would come off my most forward bench/compartment. It's not a seating bench, just a small enclosed bench for boat rigidity. Currently there is a 100# weight that original owner placed inside to assist with getting boat on plane. Between a TM and 12V battery, it would be close to the same weight forward. The deck could be the entire bench forward to cast bow plate (raised 10" to meet top of gunnel).....it could be TM deck and storage for lightweight items. That aft part of that forward bench is 30" from tip of bow casting. From bench to top of gunnel is 10". My cast bow plate is 10" from tip to the aft ends of plate. Your TM appears to be moountd off the bow by several inches. Is there an issue with mounting a TM 10"-20" off to one side of bow? Minn-Kota states to keep as close to center line as possible.
