In order to mount the motor bracket, approximately one foot of flat ground is required. The size of the paper is 9" by It measures 25 inches long). For testing prototype platforms, you can use scrap plywood to create prototypes so you can ensure fit and function before investing in any new materials. It is enough for the DIY platform to support a bracket and a trolling motor provided it meets the specified specs. In the event that the motor has thrust and horsepower on the upper end, a backing plate should be installed on the interior of the hull (if access is available) to supply additional support. That backer should be made of Marine Board or King Starboard.
This bracket has a footprint of 8 inches (L). A 59" x an 8" (W) will be a beautiful gift. It has a mounting hole pattern of 3" and is 78" long. This frame offers an overall dimension of 75" x 4". 75" in length. It appears that there is a standard mounting platform in the stern of the Ascend 128x. However, you will need to measure and confirm it. A mounting hole size of 6" x 6" would be appropriate. A new hole will need to be drilled at a depth of 75". In this case, a backing plate would be a good option to help strengthen and support the wall.
It has been designed not to mount trolling motors on the stern of the Tarpon 105. You may still be able to install the bracket, but you will have to do some DIY work. In order to create an effective mounting platform, we need to design one.

Selected User Reviews For Wilderness Systems Universal Transom Trolling Motor Mount for Kayaks
My kayak has a Power Pole mounting location on the back, so I purchased this for mounting my trolling motor on the transom. In addition to having the correct hole pattern, the bracket is too wide to fit into the recess and requires the fabrication of a spacer to lift it an inch off of the mounting position. Additionally, the motor mounting surface is too thin for tow motors to clamp to, and another spacer that is several times thicker was also required. In exchange for the price, I would have expected that it would at least fit the mounting location advertised and that it would be able to actually support a trolling motor. An inexpensive way to hire a metal worker would be to hire one locally.
Although it does not come finished. You will need a spacer because the metal is too thin and you will need a back plate, which it does not include. Additionally, the screws it comes with are too short, which just makes it a hassle. As a result, I am happy with the finished product, and it is probably even more valuable than.
The precetion outlaw 11 is available for purchase. The motor is made for a trolling motor and it weighs 5 lbs. Therefore I bought it and found it to be very sturdy and well fitted. In order for the trolling motor to tighten down, I had to cut a small block of wood to make up for the space.
I need to modify the vertical part of the plate to make it work because it is too thin to attach the motor to it. A 100 dollar product seems like it should work right out of the box if you ask me. It would have been cheaper to have a shop make one highly dissatisfied with their.
This is a well-built product, however, it is considered costly for what you receive. I also have a rear mount trolling motor, and the bolts that connect to the unit run right into their bolts. . This makes it less stable, but it still works.
On most trolling motors, the clamp does not fit tightly enough to hold the motor in place. As a shim, you need to make a block of 5/4.
It takes only a few minutes to install.
