Their just doesn't seem to be the perfect answer for the bimini/trolling motor combination. The best I came up with is using the slide tracks. I have a bow mount trolling motor and a pedestal bow mount fishing seat, so I didn't want the bimini folded to the bow where it was in my way. If I leave it folded to the stern, then it is in my son's way when he is fishing. Keep in mind he is 7 and needs all the room and he can get to cast!

I mounted the bimini to the slide tracks and bought a pair of support poles. When the Montauk is not being used, I loosen the support poles and let the bimini lay down on the side rails of the boat. I also trailer it this way. At the launch, I engage the support poles and the bimini is folded up but in the upright position above the pilot seat. Besides working out the best for me, I think it looks pretty cool!

If anyone comes up with something better that they really like, let me know. I'm always open to better ideas.
