Going from Minn Kota to Garmin (Bow Mount Questions)

[R1Peacock]

Has anyone swapped out their Minn Kota Bow Mount for a new Garmin Bow Mount? I have an older Minn Kota Maxxum and wanted to upgrade to a new Garmin Force. My question is around mounting the Garmin to the bow of my bass boat. Does anyone know if there is a mounting plate conversion or any other solution —- I assume the mounting brackets for the 2 motors are different in length and width. I’m trying to avoid putting more holes in my boat if possible. Didn’t know how they differ. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Drill your new holes if needed in the mount not the boat a couple small holes will not hurt the mount,I believe all will match but 1

Thank you —- never even thought of that……. Appreciate the feedback. Trying to upgrade my 2004 Champion 198 to the modern era.

I had a minnkota 80 maxxum and my force used the same holes

Thank You — Hoping when the time comes for me to swap it out there isn’t any problems. One question —are the mounting brackets the same general length and width.
