I would like to try and put a trolling motor on my 1972 16' Cohasset II. Since I just spent months filling all the holes in the thing and re-doing gelcoat i'd really like to find a way that does not involve poking MORE holes in the boat. I know I can just hang a transom mount motor off the back but was hoping if anyone is familiar with any sort of non-destructive adapter that allows me to use one the front or side close to the bow?

Looking at something in the range of 45lbs thrust with foot steer. I have room in the console for a 2nd battery with on-board charger and am going to install a quick connect plug for the power cable.

Thanks for the help.
