How to Put a Bow-Mount Trolling Motor on My Jon Boat

Fishing in your jon boat with a bow-mounted trolling motor used to be an unrealized dream, because the mount on the trolling motor needed a vertical surface to hang on to. With the advent of a mounting bracket that bridges the gap between the slanted bow of your boat and the un-slanted bracket of the trolling motor, the problem disappeared. Installing the mounting bracket takes no tools and takes your boat places you once only dreamed about.

• 1

  Slide the bow-mount trolling motor bracket into the handle on the bow of your jon boat.

• 2

  Open the screw clamps on the sides of the trolling motor's mount.

• 3

  Set the motor's screw clamps over the vertical plate of the bracket. Tighten the screw clamps.
