This is more a complaint than anything but I felt it might be cathartic to vent my frustration.

I purchased a (brand name-sounds like a state) trolling motor about two years back.  The motor is fine.  The switches are fine.  Even the shaft is durable enough.  But the transom mount is a flimsy piece of doo doo.  Admitedly, the motor is about as strong as one can find in a tiller steer model (55 lbs thrust), so the mounts is being taxed but anytime I crank er up a notch or two to fight the wind (or whatever), the whole unit lurches to whichever side I've got it pointed.  On one occassion it even lurched out of its mounts and I'm performing a "Bill Dance" number (see blooper on video).  It seems the company would put some effort into making a mount strong enough/rigid enough to hold the unit in place.  Or am I being unrealistic?

That was a funny video,  Take come pics at different angles and I will give you a few Ideas to bulk it up if I can
