I am thinking about chopping the bottom off of a trolling motor and mounting it sort of hidden under the deck of my pontoon boat. I don't really want a trolling motor mounted to the edge of the bow, or one mounted to the transom. I will run power wires to a pedal at my console, or maybe some sort of small throttle lever. The motor will be mounted rigid, without any provisions for steering, and I think I will be able to do a little bit of steering using the main engine as a rudder (think that will work?).
Has anyone seen something like this? Any comments regarding why it wouldn't be a good setup?
