[quote=MN3]my friend made a wooden t that slippes onto the front beam and mounted his electric motor there on his p18
another friend uses a elec trolling motor on his h21 mounted to a beam on the front bows. his wife trolls them from the boat ramp and he skippers with the tiller and 2 jibs (if they are not nose into the wind at the ramp, they don't raise the main at all at this point)
[quote=gahamby]When I've entertained this idea, I've wondered about mounting the motor on the front crossbar. With a motor that rotates 360' it could be spun around for forward thrust. With a properly crafted mount it could fold up out of the water prop forward. I know this brings up issues with bowsprit spars also the person out in the trap swinging into
the for triangle in a pitch pole. It's an idea to kick around. GH[/quote][/quote]
