I have a Leisure Life Basstender 11.3 fishing boat, and was wondering if there is any way to mount a newer bow-mounted trolling motor such as the Minnkota V2 series? I want to be able to operate the motor by pedal, and all the motors I have seen so far have to be mounted on the deck. Can you please give me any recommendations if this can be done, or what is a good bow mount model for this boat? Thanks.
