I'm getting ready to swap trolling motors and decided that I want to mount the Minn Kota on the right hand side of the bow. Because of the cockpit, the left side of my front deck is a bit longer so that is where I'll be laying my rods when they're not in the locker. I thought having the trolling motor on the opposite side would keep the rod side less conjested. Any holes left from the Motorguide will be plugged and then covered with some of that black rubber decking stuff that I've been talking about. Before I did it I figured I'd run it by you guys in case there is something that I'm not thinking of. If this is a bad idea talk me out of it.

i think trolling motors are put on the left to avoid obstructing your view when in the cockpit, since you sit lower than the deck( a little) Thats what ive been told, i wouldnt move it but thats me

could be a safety violation
