I'm deciding on a new foot controlled trolling motor for my 14' Collinscraft fiberglass stick steer boat which originally had a Mercury Thruster trolling motor. I need 12v and 36" shaft. Minn Kota has the Edge 40lb thrust and Motorguide has a 40, 46 and 54 lb thrust with 12v and 36" shaft. The Motorguide has the Gator Flex Mount which seems to be the weak spot on that motor. Several reviews that I have read say that the mount is JUNK and they would never get another Gator Flex mount.
Do any of you have any thoughts on this mount?
