Carolina Skiff ?

Post by Sea Fox »

I want to put a bow mount trolling motor on my skiff and the way the bow turns up, it seems the mount would need to be shimmed to be level. I have the larger deck on front of a 14'. Anyone delt with this issue before? Thanks SF.

What exactly are you calling a bow mount? I thought all of the mounts actually mount on top of the deck and then hang over the edge after you release and extend the motor.?

Here's a picture of my 19' CS, and the trolling motor mounts right on the deck :smt102
If you are referring to the small crack at the bottom, you could probably caulk it with some 5200 if it bothered you.

My 14 has more of a turned up bow. I know it mounts to the deck like tall tails is. I guess Ill get it on the water and see what if anything it needs for the motor shaft to be vertical.
