That trolling motor was a transom mount that I used on my kickboat. I opened up the top and you can take out a bolt and switch the handle around so it will work on the bow. It just uses two clamp screws to mount it on the boat, I leave it in the van until I get to the lake. With me seated on the pedestal seat it's just the right hight for me to reach down and operate it. I plan on getting a foot operated one eventually. I just mounted a fish finder last week.
