Has anyone mounted an electric trolling motor on a 235? If so, where did you install it and where did you install the batteries?
 
We mounted one recently. Put it on a Sea Swivel mount up on the bow, just slightly to port of the windlass. Had to move the anchor safety chain from the port side to starboard to make room. It came out looking nice. My picture is too large to post here. We put the single 36V LIFEPO4 battery under the helm.

What motor brand did you install. Especially would like to know the length of the shaft and the voltage.
 
Thanks so much for your information and the pictures. Looking at a Garmin Kracken 36 volt with a 90 inch shaft. Thanks again.
