Hey Guys and Gals.. I have an 88 Champion 184 DC FS I'm getting ready to put my new Trolling Motor on. My boat came with the old thruster and being the new TM is going to be considerably more powerful has anyone "beefed up" the cap under their TM or switched sides as mine is currently on the opposite side of most of todays bass boats. I have some stress cracks on the original side should I -A mount it on the same side as original and try to beef it up somehow? Or -B switch sides and cover the old side with some non slip rubber mat or something to cover up the holes? Thanks in advance.
