Thanks for the input Goose!
It's too bad SpringCreek stopped making/selling the motor mount bracket. But after saying that, I want my HD Floats right in the center of my canoe so I can have optimum balance.
I think I'll just stick with that canoe bracket I found at Canadian Tire and see how it works. I'll need to hook up a broom-handle type of device so I can control the motor from the back seat. I know Minn Kota sells an 18-inch extenstion but that will not be long enough.
Happy fishing and thanks for the response.
