"Hi Keith. Sorry about the delay getting back to you. Your method is ingenious and simple. This what I did: I hack-sawed the existing "too large" clamps off of the Minn Kota, went to Home Depot and bought smaller clamps that fit…"

"I don't know of a motor in that price range off hand.  I would consider modifing the motor clamp before cutting the yak.  Unless you are just talking about drill 2 holes in the back lip then I would see no problem.  I added 2…"
