I have a simple and cheap solution that I use for Elementary. Just split an appropriate size pipe that matches the motor diameter then put slits in the channel for heavy duty ss hose clamps. weld the split pipe to the channel. It is easy and looks professional. You may have a plan already, just wanted to throw it out there.</span></div><div id="yiv4182890684yui_3_16_0_1_1496692326498_5234" dir="ltr"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="yiv4182890684qtdSeparateBR"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv4182890684yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1496722263053_5319" style="display: block;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1496722263053_5318" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1496722263053_5317" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div class="yiv4182890684yqt3515386420" id="yiv4182890684yqt29547"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1496722263053_5316" dir="ltr"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1496722263053_5315" face="Arial" size="2"> On Monday, June 5, 2017 7:06 AM, Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv4182890684y_msg_container"><div id="yiv4182890684"><div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div id="yiv4182890684yui_3_16_0_1_1496667634522_7098"><br clear="none"></div><div id="yiv4182890684yui_3_16_0_1_1496667634522_7099" dir="ltr">I've attached new motor mounts for the MinnKota 101's onto the aft ballast tank framework. This puts them each at about a 30 degree angle from center-line which should work great for my "tractor" type control, however I realize now that if one of the motors quits I will be running around in circles. I have the option of adding a rudder but am not going to do that.
