Hey everyone, I am looking for advice or even better pictures on how exactly you positioned your trolling motor on your bass boats. I have a mid 90s procraft and my placement options for my new Minn Kotta USII/IP 80 lb Terrova just seem awkward. I want to get the most stability for the base as possible. Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks, Bob

I have placed the Minnkota trolling motors on both my Tuffy Boats on the bow and as off center as far as I could and still get 5 of the 6 bolts into the deck.
In that way, the motor is potentially in the way only on one side a figure eights off the front can stretch over to the opposite side of my Magnum from the trolling motor.
