    Bayliner 175 bow trolling motor, need help!

    Please, anybody help me! I saw few times bow trolling motors mounted on a similar bow riders (fish and ski), but that was a factory installation. Can I attached REMOVABLE bow electric trolling motor on my Bayliner 175? Any advice or picks will be appreciated! Many thanks for respond. Peter.

    I mounted a Bolt Down Type (Bass Boat) Trolling motor on my 17' Bayliner, by thru bolting a 1/4in. thk Alum plate on the top of the forward Deck (port side) - probably 3' from the bow and then bolting the trolling motor to the plate.

    Sorry for the delayed reply. Thought I had some pics of the mount. Boat is covered in winter storage. Be glad to take a picture in a couple of months.
