To All;
I have searched the online store, various threads, and still cannot find a reasonable and feasable solution on how to change my existing trolling motor mount. My wife and I have decided to change from the factory supplied Motorguide Trolling Motor to Minn Kota. After looking into the various mounts I did decide on one. So this past weekend I unscrewed one of the 4 bolts holding down the current trolling motor mount. I heard a nut drop, and now obviously the bolt is not tight like it should be. After looking all over the bow, and then discussing my situation with Bass Pro it turns out that the Tahoe Ski and Fish stuff is all mounted prior to the sandwhiching the lower and upper hulls together at the factory.
I am curious if anyone has cut an access hatch or done something similar to what I am planning. It would be nice to have some sort of hatch underneath the center bow cution which would give me access, hopefully, to the bow tie down loop, and I can reach up around to the gunner to get to the tolling plug and the nuts on the existing trolling mount.
Has anyone ever done this.
Thank you in advance for any help you may give.
