Thanks Mark. What material did you use for your bracket? I take it you have 5 batteries in the console?
That bracket is aluminum and starboard that Coastline Marine fabricated for me. It has the holes cut out for the trolling motor bolts to fit into. As far as batteries go, I have 5 in the console. When I had my 2nd trolling motor on the boat, the 2nd set of batteries was in the main front hatch.
As far as rear-mounted trolling motors go, we have always had great luck with the Motor Guide Great White 36v. My dad has a MinnKota rear-mounted 36v on his Dauntless and it has been durable but the Minnkota bracket is a PITA.
