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

The trolling motor bracket installs through the handles on your boat's bow.

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.
