stern mount electric on bow?

[abbot_86]

hey all just a small question, i know it can be done as i have seen it , but how do stern mount minkotas perform when mounted on the bow? my boat came factory with a bracket on the bow for a tiller steer leccy, but whats the go can you turn the coweling 180 degrees so forward is forward and reverse is reverse?? or do u just have to use the controlls inverted?? thanks nick..

1 bolt to pull out, turn the top 180, wack the bolt back in and you're done. An extention handle make it a bit easier.

Yeah im with callop on this one, just take it out turn it 180 and bob's your uncle champ!
if your really serious and are on a budget you'll be surprised at what you can conjour up!
even if your not on a budget too, just have a crack anyway!

yeah im on a bit of a budget, this will just hold me off until i can afford a bow mount, the old electrical apprentice wages dont leave much room for splurging. does anyone have this set up on their boat?? how do you find it??

[Callop]

It isn't perfect as you haven't got autopilot or foot control but definately better than not having it. Thats how I did it until I could afford the bow mount. Still got the minnkota 55 saltwater transom mount in the garage if you're interested.
