trans trolling motor on front?

[Crash Murdock]

Has any one mounted a transom mount trolling motor on the front of their boat? Does some one make a bracket for this or is it even feasible? I don't want to have to buy a different troller and my boat is to narrow to mount the gas engine and the troller at the same time I don't want to have to take it off and on all the time. Any info would be appreciated Thanks.

don't know what trolling motor you have but a I bought the bracket and mounted mine on the front. The control handle faces the wrong direction then. My min-kota was simple to remove one bolt and nut and rotate the handle 180 and replace the handle. It works fine.
