Mounting electric to allycraft fishmate

[martib]

Hey all I was wondering if there is anyone out there that has mounted an electric motor to the bow of an allycraft fishmate.
I was wondering if you had many dramas doing so.
Any info on mounting electrics would be great.
I think I will have to remove a bow rail.
Cheers Marty

G'day Marty,

I am not familiar with the Fishmate range but here is a picture of how I mounted a Minn Kota on my Allycraft. I needed to keep the bow rails as I have a custom dust cover that goes over them, so I cut a piece out of the rail and modified it so it can be refitted when the motor is off or the cover goes back on.

Cheers,
Roo.

cheers mate thats a bit of a help,how did you do that

[martib]

just looked at my boat and it looks like i will have to cut my bow rail and shorten it and then reweld it back on,which should work ok.
