Minn Kota Bow Mount trolling motor question

[Paul DeLuca]

Does anyone know if there would be a problem mounting a Minn Kota Pontoon trolling motor on a 17' bowrider? I can pick up a brand new one with copilot for $500 and it seems like a great deal. I just want to know if the pontoon models are made differently or would it mount pretty much the same as a regular bow mount trolling motor? The thrust and shaft length are right. Thanks.

Found out they are the same. Only differences are 1 less lbs of thrust on the Pontoon Model and it comes with the quick release mount.
