One of the motor mount mods I'm going to try is to u bolt a 1" 2 1/2 ft long pvc pipe to the back of the motor mount near the bottom of the mount ..... A second mod is running 1' pvc pipe under the emt pipes of the motor mount in 4 different places(see pic ) I'm running 2 pvc pipes along the length of the boat to support a storage platform at the front of the boat and also to use to build a canopy / bimini ... So I'll just add a 5 ft pvc pipe in the back of the boat to support the emt pipes ibb.co/kVi78w

Hi. Was that at full speed? Were you able to measure it? I am balancing between 62lbs trolling motor or a 2.5- 3HP outborder. Costs are about the same for both setups taking in mind the heavy life cycle battery for the trolling motor.

Still breaking in the new motor so it was at 75% throttle, phone app GPS said 4 mph avg

[@excursion5642]

Ok thanks. Keep us updated when you have done 100% regarding speed and experience with motor mount.

[@irainvestor4786]

I will.. The motor was still dipping, to almost having the propeller dipping at an angle downward when I went just slightly past 75%.. I have another motor mount mod idea I'm going to try which should help the speed... I'm guessing If I get the motor dipping issue fix I should be able to average 6 mph at full throttle

Hi. Please try this mod if you can. I have thought of that and tested it outside of water. I expect an improvement of 20-30%. Piece of wood around 1/2" thick and hard enough. ibb.co/f6Cs8w ibb.co/mkwxab ibb.co/fFmkTw ibb.co/cDfqvb Let me know

That's one of the mods I'm doing but using a 1" 2 1/2 foot long pvc pipe u bolted to the back of the motor mount, it weighs less then the wood
