Hi crankman .


I have done a few ducks with trolling motors in the front .


Can I make a suggestion that is a bit more practical and save a bit of space ....




If you swing your transom mount on an angle .


Then when you pic it up out of the water , it will be in line/ on top of your pontoon . You can now easily secure the trolling motor when not in use , or drifting ....


Where as you now , chop the ' nose space ' in half .


Just a thought ...




I am also looking at these ducks , and I am upset that I sold mine years ago .
Thanks Lenny. A good suggestion. A mod for the future.
I must admit, due to the simplicity, size and convenience of no trailer, and the fact that I normally fish alone, I find I use my little duck more often than my proper boats now days.

Ja for sure , I would love to have one to go up to Transkei with my dad and get in those hard to reach areas .
