How did you mount the trolling motor on the front? Looks like you used spacers to make it level.
SHSU
When I replaced the bow supports and cover plate I beefed up the supports with a solid piece of ply. It still has a little bow to it, so I needed to add some shims to level the TM a bit, as well as allow clearance for inserting/removing the arm for the TM quick release bracket. The spacers were a combination of stainless fender washers and rubber fender washers. The bracket is through-bolted with washers and loc-nuts. Much easier mounting just the bracket rather than the entire motor, but a lot of trial and error to get the right shim/adjustments.
