I have a 1984 Kayot deck boat and would like to mount a trolling motor on it. I have heard of mounting it to the side but that dosent sound good to pull a 22 foot boat from the side... any suggestions? Thanks.

Nothing is impossible, but this would be pretty close. I visualize a welded alum. mounting bracket that that bolts to the sloping upper deck where it joins the hull, and provides a horizontal mounting area for a trolling motor that would allow the motor to swing down to operating position at the point of the bow. One of the new motors with autopilot that operates from anywhere in the boat would make the operation of the motor somewhat practical.

Just a thought!

Thanks, I figured I would have to construct something, just didn?t want to Frankenstein my boat if not necessary.
