I bought a MotorGuide Brute. I want to mount it on my Lund aluminum boat,
so have to make a mounting plate. I want to mount it exactly at the point
of the bow. Should I have the base down the centerline or follow the
gunnel? I had another boat with a similar mount, but just a little off
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!
Don't you have a spare diesel-electric in that shop? :)
