Nearly all bow mount trolling motors are installed by bolting them to the deck of the boat. While this provides a secure, easy method for installation it makes things a bit difficult if your need to remove your motor for storage, to transfer to a different boat, or for any other reason. With a standard installation, you'll need to un-bolt your motor to remove it. While not difficult, this can be time consuming and inconvenient, especially if you'll be removing it frequently.
