How much was the cost for them to do it?? Did you have to leave your boat ??ThanksScott Scott from amstaff/solutia ?? Cant remember what I paid. I think it was around $50.00. I left my boat but it only took him about half a day to get to it and do it.

| Looks like a great set up. Do your lights and trolling motor get in the way off seeing and gigging fish. I like a clean deck on the front with the trolling motor on the back with a foot push button. Different strokes for different folks

I agree with that, trolling motor needs to be up front, if not in the middle then off to the side but still at the front.

This setup works very well. I want to build a custom basket to mount to the TM head unit. It will hold 2 beers in Koozys. 
Nothing is in the way on this setup.
A transom mounted trolling motor is a lot harder to steer and the maneuverability with the forward TM beats it hands down.
[/quote]I wish you would get to building. I am tired of spilling my beer from sitting it on top of the t/m.

The prototype is ready. It could use some refinement, such as some small bungee cords to hold it on. The Folgers containers could be changed to a container that is a little stiffer plastic. I've got maybe 45min in coming up with this and no money in it, just stuff laying around.    A little Duct Tape and your good to go

Thats a good lookin picture. What mom wouldnt be proud of that??? He could eat corn of the cobb through a picket fence with those chompers. I think I like the one up there a few minutes ago even better. It was the one that looked like his dad

Bobby, thats a good idea in  theory, but the vibration of the tm will flatten your beer, unless of course you dont give it time too!!

10-4 Understand that, that is really just a mockup prototype with junk I had laying around. It's not what you usually see from out of my shop, but it gives me something to shoot at.
Now when I'm out and about I'll have some sizes to look for and pickup some better quality stuff when I find it and find some of those neat little bungee cords to make it easy to strap on. I just didn't feel like running all over town on a scavenger hunt yesterday.
Still it will work the way it is and keep Joel from setting his beer on top of the trolling motor and loosing it every so often.
We can't be having any alcohol abuse.
