Which trolling motor are you running? My new Terrova just arrived and am trying to figure out how I am going to mount the thing! lol.

[bassmastermatt]

I have a Terrova as well, had it rigged by the dealer. Do you want a picture?

[Jenkins12]

Anyone here running a Terrova? Would love to see how you mounted it. From my calculations, its going to extend way over the gunwale!! Thanks!!

I used this to mount a motoguide xi5 on my Coral. Absolutely no complaints with this mount. https://www.rnrd.com/marine-products/trolling-motors/
Here is a youtube video showing the plate in use:

A picture would be super helpful!! Thanks

Actually, in the second picture down from my original post, if you zoom in you can see it under the jackplate. If you want closer pictures I can take some on Friday.

I would love one if its not too much trouble. Are you running a quick release bracket? Thanks again buddy!!

Jenkins12, I do have a quick release and find it helps for using the boat cover that wont' fit with it on when loading up the boat for trips with kids stuff in it.
Here are a couple pictures of the trolling motor mount. If could probably be pulled back just a couple more inches. I also had the shaft shortened from a 60" to more like a 48 or 50" shaft. I still might shorten it a touch more.

Also have the Helix 7 mounted on a ram mount up front. It is in the towing position in the pictures to reduce wind resistance :)

For anyone having trouble with their boat cover fitting over their trolling motor, contact some local boat dealers and see if they have anyone that can modify the cover. Our cover didn't fit the best with our trolling motor installed and once I had the 360 on it was even tighter, just barely could get the cover under the rub rail. When our boat was in for some warranty service over the winter the shop had told me they have a company that will cut and sew in more material to create a better pocket for the trolling motor to sit in, wasn't expensive, but it definitely made the cover fit better.

Hey bud, which graph mounting bracket did you use? I only have a single unit but am going to have to use a mount (too large to flush mount in my z19 sport. Thanks!

[bassmastermatt]

It was just a small Ram Mount attached to the factory bracket for the Helix. Unfortunately I don't know the model. The mounting location was my idea as I wanted the deck as clear as possible. I had them put a piece of plywoof under the factory plate up there to make it more ridgid. Here is a better picture. I would suggest something more sturdy for a unit much bigger, but for the 7" it is about right and can adjust the angle/location etc very easy.

Or are you talking at the dash?

[Greywalls]

Dash wise, here's what I came up with for my Z19 Sport:

I have a flush mounted Helix 7, fit perfect. Greywalls setup looks pretty sweet

Recently purchased a Champion 21sx to accommodate the wife and kids better. Coming from a Champion 200 elite with Recessed troller tray and many other "Perks" built in it sure hasn't taken me long to start cutting some holes and making modifications. A few are... upgrading from a 12×24v trolling motor to a 36v ultrex and all new batteries, charger, cleaned up wiring and replaced pumps in bilge area, recessed troll tray, installed 3 Garmin units with livescope all networked. Working towards boat buckle rod straps and golf club tubes in the console for rod tips so I can lay more rods on the deck. Overall this project is coming along nicely but will make more mods as the year progresses.20200407_191051.jpg
