    removable trolling motor brackets help!

    I have an old Minn kota maxxum that I replaced with a motorguide xi5. I love the xi5 for Crappie fishing, but due to the awkwardness of the foot pedal, not so much for bassing shallow water. My question is does a quick detach bracket exist which would fit both the xi5 and the maxxum (even with modifications), or is there somewhere I can have one made to fit my needs. Xi5 is mounted directly to bow at present. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I have a Motorguide Universal Quick Release mount that might do the trick and I'd sell it for cheap. If the existing hole pattern didn't fit the maxxum it would be easy to drill and tap new ones in the aluminum top plate. You could also buy a second top plate, one for each motor, to make changing motors super quick. Or you could switch each time with the screws. I decided to go another route with my install because the bow of my boat is an unusual shape.

    Check it out online. PM me if interested. $80 shipped.
