well done Andrew. Isn'tit great when you finally cut in and mount it and it all works well. Scarey stuff cutting into your rig. i am mounting a new one this weekend. the new Minn Kota mount is a drop on block rather than a slid on. Has anyone used one yet? It will be interesting to see how it goes and get the motor level. Pity they didn't build in an adjustment like the transom mounts.
