Trolling Motor Question

[hdavis821]

I'm sure this has been answered before but here goes. I Have a 14' flat bottom and I am wanting mount a transom mount trolling motor on the front. I have been looking and looking for some kind of bracket that is not to expensive or some kind of idea on how to build something. Can anyone help?

That's a great idea but my boat doesn't have a wide lip like yours to attach the bracket too.

It might help if you post a picture of where you want to mount the trolling motor on your boat.

i went to the local steel wholesaler and picked up a piece of 3" x 3" x 0.1875" angle aluminum about 6 inches long. will mount it to the flat deck i have in the front of my boat and use a piece of 2x4 so the trolling motor will clamp to the aluminum and 2x4. maybe a $15 mount
