Hello everyone,

 

I recently purchased a used Minn Kota Maxxum 70 to replace an old Motor Guide trolling motor.  Fortunately, the mounting holes line up.  My question is, do I need anything between the trolling motor mount and my boat?  

 

The old Motor Guide had a metal bracket that had a small square rubber piece.  I did not receive anything like this with the Maxxum trolling motor.

 

Thanks

Shane

 

Not required but its not a bad idea to add some rubber washers for shock and to keep the mount from scratching or imprinting on the deck

That's what I do.

Thanks for the replys.  Will add the rubber washers this evening.

 

If your hold down strap is held in place by the mount, you'll have to do something different there if you add washers.
