MotorGuide 360 Gator Mount

[MsgMills]

I haven't had any experience using one yet, but want to get one for my boat...Can they be bought from Bass Pro Shops, or do you have to get them from Motor guide?

Thanks Pappa Millsy

I have a 360 mount and had trouble with it slipping.I had to put a hose clamp on the shaft to keep it from slipping down.I like it other than that,it's better than the old gator mount.I don't have to re-adjust it every time I hit something.

Did it start slipping in the mount from the time that is was new or with age. I was looking at the display motor at BPS and it slid in the mount but I don't think it was tightened up like it should have been. That same motor is listed in the 2007 catalog with a new 20.8 Gator mount. I don't know if I should wait for the new mount which may have problems of it's own.

Can the "N E W " type of Gator Mount be purchased anywhere by itself? The kind that springs back into place by itself. I have the old type that has to be adjusted by hand (with the knobs that you unscrew and tighten back up)each time the trolling motor hits something, real pain in the A**...
