I have a Stacer 4.89 Baymaster Runabout. I'm hoping to add a not-too-expensive electric trolling motor, for occasional use, pretty much only in the Noosa River area.
The problem is that the drop from the deck to the water at the pointy end is 900mm. From what I've read, that means I would have to get an extended shaft Minn Kota, and that looks like big biccies.
The boat has that extended pod at the blunt end, so there's no easy way to hang a transom mounted cheapo motor that I can see.
So, here's the question - is there a simple way to fit a standard transom mount motor (without welding preferably) to this design runabout?
Thanks!
