I bought a MotorGuide Brute. *I want to mount it on my Lund aluminum boat,

center to the right, parallel with the center line. *It pulled pretty
straight, I just had to turn the motor a tiny bit to compensate. *The
current one is mounted on the gunnel about three feet back from the prow, so
it pulls a lot to one side, and it is difficult to get the engine just right
so it tracks good. *It is also too short, therefore the new one. *How would
you do it?

A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult..
Sorry steve that I can't help on this matter, but I'm seriously
thinking on getting a motor to mount on the pontoon. It would make a
good bow thruster. especialy for 'parallel parking' LOL!
