Re: [OMC-Boats] Trolling Motor Mount

Lee,

I'll be using the boat this weekend, I'll take some measurements and forward the information to you. It would be good to have the measurments and photos on file for future reference.

Don.

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.

My brother remembered seeing them, but can't remember if they were OE or aftermarket. Very cool. Wish I had one.

Hello,
 
Attached are 4 photos of a trolling motor mount that I obtained.
 
I was told by the previous owner that it was manufactured my OMC.
 
My current 1967 accessories manual does not show this trolling mount as an option, therefore I cannot verify the previous owners information.
 
Anyhow, whether it is or is not manufactured my OMC, it sure makes a ideal mount for my Minn Kota electric trolling motor.
