Trolling motor vs. Bow Rail...my solution

Then add a stanchion just inboard on front to help the remaining part be more secure. On the cut ends of the rail we added a circle and made a piece of life line with pelican hooks. With life line removed the TM is easy to use. Mark - If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went..... Will Rogers

If you get a chance, maybe edit your personal page so the pics are stacked vertically. Right now they're all on one line and a visitor has to scroll across the page to view some of the pics at the end. At least on my 24" monitor I couldn't fit em all in.

There is a place in Oakland, Ca working with Outboard Motor Shop (Whaler Dealer) who makes the front part removable but they want $500 to do it !! Without those extra stanchions/braces that were added the sides are a tad wobbly w/o the center section. They are rock solid now on mine.

If a visitor's screen resolution wont accommodate the width of more than one pic in the same line, it stacks em automatically with some browsers. Not a big deal. Just thought I'd mention it. I really like your bow rail solution. I've always struggled with operating my TM under the rail but never had the guts to cut it up.

I was lucky to have a friend who does this kinda work for a friends price I wanted to put up a personal avatar but could never get a jpg down to 30kb ! The one I was working on was 92 when it was reduced to 100x100 pixels... Just fixed the pic lineup and added captions...should be more user friendly now Edited by Dogface on 10/30/09 - 5:03 PM Mark - If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.....
