What size trolling motor for the 257 fisherman ( 2023)?

[Finaddict2]

Anybody install a trolling motor upfront on a 257 fisherman for anchoring or spot lock?
What size is used on the 257?
I have a windless so any help is much appreciated or pictures on how it was mounted.
Any thoughts on the kraken?

Mine have a 36V 72" shaft.

Put the Kraken 90" on my Freedom 235. Pic might give you some idea of how to mount one on a 257 with windlass.

I would say no for 4' but yes for 2'. For 3' it randomly comes out.

Ram mount where did you buy it?
Is this the camera mount?

I had a guy install the motor, battery and mount. I'm not sure where he got the mount, but it is RAM Toughclaw series. Not sure if it's the camera mount
