I have 93 procraft 180 fish-n-ski my trolling motor recently quit working and I am looking at a purchasing a new trolling motor but I want to still use my trolling motor storage compartment. that is located in the bow. Currently it has a Motor Guide Brute 45 lbs with a sissors mount that retracts down into the compartment when not in use. Any ideas on how to mount a new trolling motor and still be able retract the trolling motor down into the compartment? I would say when fully retracted into the compartment the prop sits about 12-18 inches from the bow of the boat. From the photos on Minn Kota or Motor guide it does not appear as if any of the new mounts will allow for me to use my storage compartment like the previous motor did. Anyone have this problem before or suggestions?
