In actuality, due to the arc required for the trolling motor shaft to swing during stow and deploy, virtually all bow rails get in the way.
Screw holes filled with glass, sanded smooth, then shot with gelcoat and buffed:
We're frequently asked if it's possible to install a trolling motor on a boat with a bow rail. The short answer is. yes, but only with great difficulty!
Holes from where bow rails were formerly mounted:
how good ya think i can do with one on the rear next to the big mtr.
anyone ever figure out a way to mt one on a baot with a rail?
havent been able to come up with a way to mt a trolling mtr on the front of the boat. i need one tho..
ive got a 16 f wellcraft ccf and i really dont wanna take the rail off or anything so i pretty much gotta go with the rear of the boat. easy to put one there and i box for the batt is only a cpl feet away. could probly go with an inexp short shaft and see how it goes. . should i just try a junkie 100$ walmart job and see how it works until it dies beofre i look into a decent one or will it perform good enough that i should just got for it and put a nice one on it
Any suggestions much appreciated.
It's been done several times on this site. You'll have to do your own searching to find it.
here is the bullet way. and I added a stanchion on starboard and port side to balance the look of the bow. here
Hey all. I know there's an electronics sub that includes trolling motors, but this isn't an electrical question. Also, apologies for this wall of text. You can skip to the bottom for the condensed version :blah:
The idea is to use the kicker to get the boat almost to trolling speed, lock it straight, then engage the i-pilot to fine tune speed and steer. I've been reading that this is common practice in the midwestern lake regions, including Erie, which is pretty similar to the conditions on Lake Champlain.
Obviously, the issue would be stowing it. I've never operated an electric trolling motor, so I don't know how they stow. Can you leave a section of the prop end of the shaft hanging over the bracket? Does it look like it would fit so that the head would clear the front side of the cabin? It would be a 60" shaft with the motor head laying next to the cabin. Can they stow at a horizontal angle, over the cabin? I do realize that I'll have to relocate my navigation lights. probably LED side lights moved aft. There's also a hatch up there for bow access. here
