Thread: My nest set-up to chase fish

I see that the platform and motor mount would be easy DIY but check prices before buying. Sometimes a kit is cheaper.
The mount looks to be metal. I used Dollar Tree cutting board for mine on a kayak.

On the Front motor mount is 1-1/" PVC Pipe painted black, a piece of 2x4 with 2 pieces of 5"x7" sheet tin/aluminum where the motor clamps. So far I haven't found no kits available for the mods on these, except the rudder for the trolling motor. I have several old Poly cutting boards for this, and only would need three heavy duty wire clamps. The kind with rubber around the clamping portion to grip the motor shaft, and a screw hose clamp to hold the bottom to the motor housing.. Total cost maybe $6.00, verses $34.00 on Amazon. Of All the mods I've seen so far, No holes need to be drilled into the existing Metal frame, which is a plus. Yes, I see what your saying, use the cutting board in-place of the metal. This would be better. No rust, and with sanded edges, no sharp edges to puncture the bladder on the 'toon, or me, LOL.
The black tubes in the motor mount picture is the metal foot rests of the frame of the pontoon. On the ends in the motor mount frame, there are hard rubber foot rests, so no sharp edges.
