MotorGuide to Minn Kota mounting holes

Hey guys - so I was trying to track down if Minn Kota mounting holes match MotorGuide's.  Short answer, the Minn Kota WIDE set do match the MotorGuide set PERFECTLY!  At least from my 21 year old MotorGuide ZX 41 to a new Minn Kota Edge 45.  Just take off the mounting cover, and the additional bolt holes are easily accessible.  Zero drilling needed.  I wanted to grab a new MotorGuide X3 45, but apparently they are not in stock anywhere. 

I know these are smaller than what a lot of you guys have, but 41lbs on the 16 foot Skeeter works just fine.  I hated to give up on the old MG, she's been a trooper - but just too many components were failing and I had already reconditioned the motor once.  Even a new #41 would have felt stronger given the odd noises and grinding the old one was making - having #45 will feel like a rocket ship lol.

Anywho - just wanted to put it out there so that hopefully if someone else is looking they can find the answer more easily than I did.
