    new mount or replacement parts

    have a motorguide trolling motor and the mount is starting to get sloppy.

    Wanting to see if there are parts that can be replaced or do you have to order a new gator mount.

    If I need a new mount would the bolt patterns match up ?

    Not sure what model number it is but here is the serial number 9B825181

    Thanks

    thanks for the replies so far . the Ultrex sounds like a great motor just not willing to drop that kind of cash on one .

    The Fortex has caught my eye but that pedal may not fit my comforttroll .

    I did see the parts listed in the link , just wondering if it would really help changing out bolts if the other part has wear also .

    Motorguide doesn't have bushings that can be changed to tighten mounts. You have to replace worn parts. Get in touch with me monday and we can decide what the best route to take.
