[quote=MN3]i truly think a rear cheta mount is a better choice... as you can lift the engine out of the water after you need it.. on the front beam you will have to remove the trolling motor, and store it somewhere or risk it being ripped off (and flying back at you) when you get some speed..
BUT .. if its what you want to do... i would think most trolling motors come with adjustable cleats and could just screw on/off the beam... if i am wrong ... you may need to build/weld some system...
as per raising your main on the water... yes.. no fun at all... as you raise it... any wind will cause you to rotate and sway around.. making raising it much harder.
Dustin, If you dont use the ring system... you will need a super strong cleat to withhold the halyard pressure when you are underway... plus your halyard will stretch and create more pocket in your main (not desired in 25+).[/quote]
