[QUOTE="EG1768, post: 449246, member: 10476"] I have an old 14 v-hull that I want to mount a bow mount trolling motor on. I don’t want to make an adapter for a transom mount to work because I want a foot controlled trolling motor and for it to be easier to pull up. With that said I’ve done a few things to the boat like putting a carpet floor in the rear and a carpet[img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180327/2c0952030d12834b7069693c8cd092c9.jpg[/img] rear bench, but I’m the worlds worst carpenter lol. How do I go about framing and mounting a piece of wood that’s flush with the top of the boat in the front to mount the trolling motor on? I’ve seen people do it but I have seen nothing in depth. Would I drill into the top rail on the sides to mount the framing? I can handle the front casting deck, which will be much lower than the tm mount, later on. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!
