Minn Kota trolling motor transom mount bracket models used in the past have now been replaced by one single unit, the plastic transom mount bracket and hinge for Power Max and Enduras motors. This mount cannot be used on Maxxum (models 74T & 80T) or Vector model which require a metal mount bracket.

Re: Trolling Motor Bracket Mount
When mounting a trolling motor bracket do not ever use screws. Instead you use bolts that go all the way thru the fiberglass and have a stainless steel backing plate or aluminum backing plate. The bolts would not go into the fiberglass, they would go thru into a nut on the bottom side of your backing plate. These nuts would not wear out in 50 years but even it they did you would just put in a new set. The nuts could be welded or glued to the bottom of the backing plate. Also there special nuts that would go thru the backing plate up into the fiberglass but not so long they would come out the top of the fiberglass.
If I could through bolt it, I could use a puck-type setup like you have to mount the brackets to from the side, or even the top, and then through-bolt the puck to the swim platform, and leave it there permanently.
I really like that setup, and that idea. more
PS: any advice on sealing it so the holes don't leak?
One of the best trolling motor mounts for kayak is the Old Town Standard Canoe Motor Mount, which extends superb and incredible amounts of support to kayak motors. The mount is extremely rigid, which means you won’t have to deal with trolling motor issues such as less propulsion or diminished overall efficiency. The versatile and reliable product can be mounted with either a gas motor or an electric engine with up to 3 HP. Thanks to the entire mounting kit that comes with it, including a heavy-duty aluminum bracket, the motor mount is strong and robust to boot. So, you don’t need to use any DIY activity or tools to ensure a sturdy grip. The best part? This universal mount is reversible, which means it works for both right and left-handed boaters alike. here

There are too many kayakers who skimp on a good quality trolling motor mount, only to end up with disastrous consequences, For one, a poorly-made mount can easily slip into the water, costing you lots of money to replace it with another one. Another problem with poorly-made motor mounts is that many people end up doing a DIY project while attaching them to the boat. These might leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere, especially if you’re just starting them for easy navigation to rest your arms. There’s a reason there are professionally made mounts as they stay firmly on the boat, as opposed to ones made on your own. more

Nothing matches the pride and pleasure of owning a kayak and the independence it affords. Whether you’re an adventurer or an angler, kayaking allows you to head into uncharted albeit gorgeous waters. What’s more, kayaking is being seen as a great new form of exercise, especially since it’s also a fun-filled activity as opposed to sweating it out in an airconditioned environment. However, kayaking trolling motors can be an excellent investment towards offering some relief to your arms and legs, especially during long expeditions. However, the average kayak isn’t set up to accommodate trolling motors, which is where a nifty universal trolling motor mount for kayak is immensely helpful. Not only do some kayaks not allow for easy mounting, but also most brands don’t offer mounting kits designed for their kayaks.
When using the threaded inserts, follow the directions that came with your kit. This is how I remember using them;
I attached a wiring kit on my transom mount trolling motor. This kit came with two plugs. One plug you put onto the end of the wires on your trolling motor. The other plug went onto the 15 foot wires that went to my battery. That way I can move my trolling motor to the bow with out any problems, and then when I move the trolling motor back to the transom, I can coil up that wire and keep it nice and neat in the back of my jon boat. more
Then paint if you want too. Get ready to mount it! here
Pshh Pshh Pshh Pshh . The sound of ripples flopping up against your jon boat as you row your way to your favorite fishing spot. You look over, recalling that you’ve seen that duck before as it starts to pass you going up stream, thinking to yourself that you still have 10 more minutes till your half way there. Wishing you had some other way to get you to your fishing spot.
The main thing that I like about having a transom mount trolling motor, is that I can move it from the transom, to the bow, and then back to the transom. All you have to do, when you switch it from the transom to the bow, is rotate the head of the trolling motor. On my trolling motor, its just one screw that I loosen, rotate the head 180 degrees, and then tighten the screw back down.
How am I going to fishing this coast line? You try fishing from the back of the jon boat, steering the trolling motor that is completely behind you mounted on the transom. Its annoying but tolerable. Then another thought pops into your head. I’ll just go backwards. Fishing from the back of the boat, the trolling motor is in front of you, and your heading down the shoreline transom first with your bow trailing behind you. It looks goofy, but its doing better than the first idea.
