Hi all, anyone ever replaced a trolling motor on a bass tracker? I have a pro 170, looking to upgrade to a Terrova. I just don't see where there's access to the bow underside for mounting. Any experiences, tricks or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS
The front carpeted panel should be easily removed, usually 6-8 screws hold it in. Also, Motorguide makes a mount isolator kit that might also work for you, all done from the top side. Search "Motorguide mount isolator kit"
Sorry ct0218, I never saw your response until now. Thanks for the info. I will check it out.
Did you ever get the trolling motor swapped? My big forearms got skinned up pretty bad when I replaced the one on my 175txw. Didn't help that the sun was beating down on me during summer.

Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.
I have the 170 and put a new Terrova on last year. I ended up cutting the access hole behind the panel larger to make it easier to install and I also had to upgrade the wiring to 6 gauge which was a pain.
I just couldn't find enough information to be comfortable doing it myself. So I finally surrendered and hired a pro to do it for me. I would have screwed it up.
