2006 25 Cruiser Bow Motor Question

jetcityit

We have recently bought a 25 cruiser, this is our first C-Dory. Our previous boat was a Klamath 18 Windshield. We had a Minn Kota Terrova installed on it with a 60 inch shaft. It has been a real game changer for fishing and crabbing. I would like to install a unit on the 25 Cruiser. Has anyone installed one on a 25 cruiser I have searched the forms and have only found information on th 22 C-Dory. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you C-Brats

I bet it could be implemented when docking as well. I hope to hear how this string progresses. Though it will be a great while until that hits my bucket list...this is the place to learn. Have you learned how to utilize the search box up top. When you use it the C-Brat responses are at the end. powerful.

Check my photo album. I have the catamaran but I installed a 96" Rhodan on it. Happy to answer any questions.

Thanks for the information, I am a little concerned about the recommended 70 inch shaft. Don't know how that will line up and be able to be out out of the way - when docking - I am looking at:

Its a bracket - I will post pictures of the process - think this will be helpful for others - thanks C-Brats

I don't have a good Pic right now, the motor hasn't been on since last fall but it lays right down the side of the boat when stowed and attaches to the boat via a ram mount that you can kind of see on the photo in my album of the sunfish.
