    Must be an exceptionally narrow front end. Not sure there is anything you can do if that's the shape of your boat.

    It all depends on the angle the the mount sets. I could have gone either way, but I didn't like where it hit on the deck. Would be right in the middle of my rods. Mounted mine on the outside. I plan on getting something for it to hit on rather than the top cap, but haven't found something yet, so I use a felt chair slide. This is from before I got the slide.

    You do know the bracket can be mounted on either side of the motor bracket?

    On mine the mounting hole is cast with the motor bracket.

    I have been using my older T/M like that for years without any issues. You can buy walking cane tips that provide a little extra cushion if you prefer.
