Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Trolling Motor Mounting on 1981 13' Sport Model

Am brand new to this website as I just purchased a 1981 13' Sport model with a 40 Yamaha.

The boat has no trolling motor and I would like to mount one for fishing here in the Galveston, TX area. I have found some pics on this site with boats that have stern mounted trolling motors.

Not sure which mounting would be best and most functional from fishing a standpoint - stern or bow?

Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Take a look at my personal page. I have a 17' and 13' with bow mounted trolling motors.

Does anyone else have any pictures of bow mounted trolling motors on a 13' model?

The 1981 13' that I have has a bow railing. As I understand, this was installed after market by the previous owner so I guess it is a "custom" 13' and not a 13' Sport after all.

Pictures of any 13's with bow railings and a bow mounted trolling motor would be great.

Todd, thanks for the ones on your personal page.
