The trolling motor I had on my Montauk was mounted on the front nonskid area. There is a picture of the Montauk on the hull truth trading dock board. It was a foot control with the plug installed in the front of the center console. Minn Kota 765MXT. I can send you some more pictures if you need some. JB Cornwell would be the one to ask.

JB has answers and pics.
I have bow mounted Minn-Kota motors on three Whalers, 2 Montauks and a 13 Sport.
If you need pics, Email me.

looks like a good place to put in a plug for 4 strokers... I troll at 1.2 mph (600 RPM) with a Bearcat 85 hp on a Nauset... I have no need of a trolling motor...
