Trolling motor support

Well, I just finished replacing all the rivets in the front deck of my boat. It is obvious that I need to secure my TM better. My boat is a little different than a standard bass boat. The front deck is about 10 inches below the level of the front. I will include some pics so you can see what I mean. The head of the motor is about 12 1/2 inches above the floor. Will the RAM mount be long enough to reach from the floor of the deck to the shaft of the TM. If not, any other options???Attachment 175903Attachment 175904Attachment 175905

EZ-Poleholder can fix you up with a support.

I will post pics of mine on a wareagele...........EZ did it for me. Nothing more than pvc pipe..........will post pics tomorrow for you, when I take them.

Trolling Motor Stabilizer Mount

This is what I use. Rock solid and very easy to use.

I use that on my Skeeter, and love it. Its not long enough on the wareagle, and I think Iwaanafish will have the same problem.........same dropdeck up front.

EZ can fix you right up.

RAM makes that support in two lengths.

you are correct...........it's still not long enough.

Send EZ a PM on how long you want one, he can do it.

Yep just give him measurement from deck to TM shaft. Works great...I have his set up on my boat.

I've never had a support, never been a problem.

I just bought some velcro and screwed to the bottom of the boat and just wrap it when the motor is up. Seems to work well and cheap. Academy Sports.

Sorry about being late..........here are the pics. Simple PVC pipe and spray paint....EZ did it for me.

The one EZ did for me is like the one pictured...he put rubber in the top part....and a aluminum base to fasten to the deck with a groove cut in it for the pipe to fit in and has a tie down strap to hold the motor down. release the strap and take the pipe out of the way when your trolling
