A theoretical question: I was talking to my brother-in-law last night and he mentioned that he wanted to put a trolling motor on his boat. Ordinarily I wouldn't question that but he's running a pleasure craft, not a boat primarily designed for fishing.
The spot where one would traditionally install a trolling motor doesn't have a platform for one and he's not inclined to have one installed. His idea is to install the motor at the back of the boat. There he has one of those water-level decks that people use to climb into or jump off the boat. He wants to install the motor there.
Now I've never seen it done like that but it's not to say it isn't feasible. Has anyone here ever done or seen a trolling motor installed in this way and location?
