    It's not identical to the other PS21. It has a 20 degree cone instead of 45 degree. Buy the trolling motor mount 010-12407-00 $24.99. Google the number and you may find it cheaper. I've used one extensively on the trolling motor and like the 20 degree a bit better than the 45.
    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    You're not going to be rotating it? Just pointing forward from the transom?

    It will work as that's what the transom mount model was designed for.

    I use the same one as yours, but I have it on a gutted trolling motor that I clamp to the transom and rotate.

    It works well. I can cruise up to 4-5 mph with it down pointed in any direction and then latch it up for higher speeds. I just bolted the transom mount to the skeg or fin, whatever its called, on the bottom of it.
