I've been reading the posts about mounting a swivel seat in a jonboat. Very helpful. But one question doesn't seem to be answered:
Where (along the bench) should I put the seat? Right now, I sit off-set to the left (portside) to run my transom mount trolling motor. I will likely be adding a small gas motor soon.

The trolling motor is off-set to the right. If I want to center the gas motor (or the electric) where should I mount the seat? I am assuming that it will be different than just sitting on the bench when it comes to operating a motor, right?

Or am I just over-thinking this?

Welcome aboard!

 

I think wherever it is most comfortable for you to both

sit/fish and work the motor.

Fish from the middle one & run from the right!

I have a pivoting seat in the middle, and just turn sideways a little when I work the rear mounted trolling motor.  I can't say what I would do if I used a gas outboard though because I don't have one sorry.
