help with mounting electric motor PLEASE...

[martib]

hey all just looking for a bit of advice on mounting my electric motor,ive just purchased a watersnake along with a quick release mounting bracket and there isnt any clear instructions on the mounting of the motor,i know its not rocket science but i want to get it right the first time.
i have had the bow rail modified to accomadate the motor,and i also have an anchor well at the bow so it will be to the left of the middle of the bow.
i surpose the question im asking is where should i start at getting the correct position of the bracket and getting the motor positioned correctly.
so if you have mounted one before i would like to know how you have done it,as i said i just want to get it right and not stuff it up.

and also if you have any pics that would be great,and any advice.

cheers marty

I ended up mounting it like in the second photo, works fine

dont know about others but i have a sheet of 10mm marine ply cut to fit the bow under the ally for stability and to reduce stress on the topdeck of the bow.
