I got the Panther Marine bracket and the Minn Kota trolling motor installed. I checked it all out with a sea trial, works great no leaks. I can steer the boat with the steering wheel instead of the tiller in most case, but there is a certain trolling motor and other engine height and angle where the trolling motor prop hits the whale tailed motor. But it’s a negotiation between mounting the trolling motor close to the boat centerline or at the outer edge of the transom, so it works. I did notice that the Panther bracket will catch the wake in a hard right turn which I sort of expected due to the low height above the water.
Glad I bought the trolling motor early, a lot of them are out of stock now.
