A few things to note here would be that the OP and BrianPyke, the forum member looking at the used 200 hp outboard for $11k are two completely different people. The OP initially posted this thread last year and hasn't been back since then. It looks like BrianPyke piggybacked onto an already...

Never fished for an entire day, Old Dude! Use it in the Pamlico Sound and near shore in ocean. With 3' plus waves, I would question effectiveness on my 24'. I did not do the set up, had it done. I can send you pictures of the parts in that I just took it off one GW moving it to another. You...

I see you are using the 36v 60ah dakota. Do you get a full day out of that? Are you using it the ocean, bay, or river? What did you use as a backing board under your trolling motor mount? Do you have any problems with water intrusion on your outlet being in the anchor locker?

...some floor grade plywood and cover it with some fiberglass so I can mold it to the shape I need. I know I am not the first to mount a trolling motor on a grady 180, but I'll be damned if I can find a photo for one. Even called grady customer service but they just blew me off. If you come...

I have upfitted a 24' GW Explorer with a trolling motor. Enclosed are pictures. Sent from my iPhone

...used for fishing the Cesapeake Bay). I am thinking to put the battery in the center console and to install a plug at the bow for the trolling motor. Does anyone have photos of a bow mount trolling motor on a fisherman 180? If no outlet installed, how did you run power? Did you have to...

Hull max HP Rating?? Next tell us what your needs are; go as fast as possible or get a better hole shot. Maybe you plan on a lot of trolling. All that is input into selecting a prop. You can't get it all. Any prop you select is a compromise. I also strongly recommend that you see how the boat...

I have a new to me 2016 Freedom 225 that the previous owner had installed a trolling motor on. I’ve since removed the motor and want to have all the mounting holes and cable pass throughs repaired. I also need to have a section of nonskid that someone repaired with single part paint. I was...

Looks great! Question on fishing from the bow - do you plan to use the foot pedal up there? I find it challenging to fish from the bow as even walking up there is tight, and with a bouncing boat and a rod in one hand makes me nervous. What type of fishing will you do up there?

...a 10" Garmin 8610XSV, think I have room for a second one but it'll require a little cutting on the sides. Just installed a Garmin Trolling Motor on the bow and probably going all in with Panoptics live scope. If so I'm considering a surface mount MFD so I can rail mount it on the bow when...

Just added a folding cobia tower to my 228 and the 90" Garmin trolling motor install is coming along. Went with a 3/8" aluminum plate hung off the pulpit and seems really solid. Thought I could get by without cutting the rail but not happening. Can anyone tell me what parts I need to hinge...

...get 2 9s inside the console, I would need some custom fiberglass work done? Looking for ballpark costs on something like that. For a trolling motor, the only auto-deploy salt water one I could find was the Ultera? I understand they had troubles when they first came out, but are they better...

Good point, unfortunately it’s already being made and I did want it to be permanent. I’m going with 3 12v Interstate batteries in the compartment under the mid berth along with a genie 3 bank charger. My plan is going to be changing it up to lithium at some point but I got the batteries for...

...lined with an adhered thin layer of high density rubber backing to add grip and protect the gel coat when clamped. This could be easily removed if trolling motor won't be used or if trailering. Does not require any drilling into pulpit or boat. What battery and charging setup are you going with?

...on 2000 Adventure 208: Project Overview This document outlines my installation process for a Minn Kota Riptide Terrova Quest 72" trolling motor on a 2000 Adventure 208 boat. The motor has been acquired, and the installation is currently underway. Motor and Mounting: The chosen trolling...

...I’ve thought about looking into finding flaps for the scupper exits, but that could slow water drainage. There isn’t as much slope available from the deck to the water line as with the canyons. I have the twin 300s and 3 trolling motor batteries in the stern, so all of that is added rear weight

...the edge of the rub rail. At the back it needs to be trimmed so the anchor hatch is free to open. The angle is established so the trolling motor head is under the stainless rail, but not over the rub rail (so the head cannot contact anything on the dock). My quick disconnect puck was...

...and very well cared for with newer power and low hours. I am removing the bow rail all together, and installing a Rhodan spot lock trolling motor and also Mate series rod/cup holders along the gunnel. I will post some pics upon completion here for you as we progress. I hate to see the bow...

I don't have any stand alone pictures of the mounting plate. The plate is necessary on the 208 to get the trolling motor shaft at least 1" cleared of the rub rail. Basically 3/8 thick aluminum plate that is through bolted to the deck of the anchor locker (2 bolts). Then mounted the Minn Kota...

@Matman , I am planning on getting this installed this winter. Can you provide a couple more pictures of the top of the trolling motor and how you secured it as well as one of the mounting plate? Did you mount this so it could be removable?
