Went out and bought an electric trolling motor for my 16ft runabout. The 80hp just is no good for trolling and I didn't want another outboard (cost, weight, convenience etc) so I went with a transom mount type electric. Problem is that the splashwell is JUST wide enough for the main motor. I'll need to install a mount on the transom for the electric motor.
I've seen those retractable kicker motor brackets but they are much bigger/heavier than I need for this 25Ib electric motor. I was thinking of something low profile, maybe even removable. I'm sure someone on these forums has built or seen something similar. Ideas ?
