Re: [OMC-Boats] Trolling Motor Mount

I've looked thru the old OMC Accessory catalog and never saw a cool
mount like that before. But I have no doubt it was offered by OMC
dealers.

It is a pretty cool design. We should get accurate dimensions on it,
throw them into CAD and build a few!

The only draw back I see is it will put some additional stress on the
tilt motor, especially if loaded, But it solves steering issues, for
sure under auxiliary power.
