Postby stanyon » Wed Nov 09, 2016 5:18 pm

Can anyone post pictures showing the mount of an electric trolling motor to the [bow] of a 13-footer?

To find digital images of a trolling motor mounted to the bow of a Boston Whaler 13-foot boat, I used this GOOGLE IMAGES search:

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1179&bih=825&q=boston+whaler+13+trolling+motor&oq=boston+whaler+trolling+motor&gs_l=img.1.2.0i30k1l2j0i8i30k1j0i24k1.2464.11050.0.12888.46.33.9.3.3.0.269.3026.15j10j2.27.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..7.39.3059...0j0i10k1j0i10i24k1.vyzUg5quprw

For each image found by the GOOGLE IMAGE search the results also provide links to the webpage on which the image appeared, allowing more more images there to be seen, and permitting reading any textual information. I think that using GOOGLE IMAGE to search for images is a more efficient method to find images than to just make a general solicitation for people to post images. A lot of images are already on line and available.

Are there any specific questions you want to ask about the method of mounting a trolling motor to the bow of a Boston Whaler 13-foot boat?

JIm--thanks for the [link to a well-formed GOOGLE IMAGE search result]. That is what I had been searching for. I was hoping someone had engineered a way to use a bow mount without drilling holes.

Scroll down to the second picture on this page.

It shows a Trophy model with the Boston Whaler accessory trolling motor mount.
