Thread: Mounting trolling motor problem

I did the same thing as Charger, but I repositioned the quick disconnect plate to allow the head of the TM to get inside the boat.

The hole patterns on the tracker was for a motor guide. I made a plate and drilled the plate to fit the motor guide holes. Then I put the Minnkota on the plate and shifted it around to allow the head inside. Then I drilled and tapped the plate then screwed the quick disconnect to the plate. If you look closely, you can tell the TM is "cocked" with respect to the plate mounted to the boat.


You can see the back 2 screws on the mounting plate are some what displaced too and the plate hangs over the bow to allow tm clearance when deployed.

Hope this helps.
