DIY Bow Mount Trolling Motor Bracket {Jon Boat to Bass Boat Conversion} Alumacraft 1232

In this video you will see how to install an aluminum trolling motor bracket onto the bow of an Alumacraft 1232 jon boat. This is a great solution when trying to find something light weight but very sturdy. This is something you can make yourself or work with Nate from Nate's Custom Boats to fabricate for your boat. This install was a first for me. Hope you enjoy it.

Looking good!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Arjectrick. 👍🏾🤙🏾

[@TheGoatMumbler]

Uh how bout setting that motor up on that bad ass mount man!

[@gewglesux]

I'm using the same motor. MK told me that you can swap the tiller. worked for me! In your case you would just have to pay attention to the shaft length.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Swap the tiller instead of rotating it?

[@gewglesux]

@@BassBrothersFishingDMV I'm sorry i mean rotating it "swapping" was a bad choice of words. I did what you did.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

@@gewglesux all good bro. 👍🏾

[@gewglesux]

@@BassBrothersFishingDMV That's actually one of the reason i purchased this motor just because of this feature.

[@crackalackingfishing3800]

🤙🤙

[@TheOwen290]

What paint did you use to paint the top rail?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Sorry for the late response. The paint is from West Marine I believe
