I would like to know how people mount a trolling motor onto the bow of
a 18-ft center console.

I am looking forward to buy a used 18-ft center console for fishing in
both freshwater and sal****er. Because I will be using it in
freshwater, I would like to add a trolling motor at the bow for
fishing. All the trolling motors that I have seen are being mounted
flat on the deck; but normally center console has a sunken deck at the
bow. I just cannot see how I can mount a trolling motor onto the sunken
bow deck of a center console. How do people get around with this
problem? Do we have to build up the bow deck to flush with the gunwale
in order to mount the trolling motor?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Mount it on the gunwale. If the width of the gunwale is 3 or 4 inches,
no problem. Here is a picture of one mounted on top of the gunwale,
doesn't matter that this particular picture is of a bass boat with a
shallow bow, it's still the same theory.
