I have 2 boats & question is will I be able to use it on both? 1 is 16' Alumincraft deep vee & other 17' South Bay pontoon & use bow mount?

will need to buy 2 mounting plates, but otheriwise I would think it should work. I have it on 18 ft pontoon and works great bow mount.

If your Alumincraft will accept a bow mount motor then yes, you will just need 2 mounting plates as Joshua stated as the mounting plates are fastened with bolts/nutsThe Motor itself slides off the mounting plate easily, although it isn't light.

It is intended for pontoon boats due to the shaft length and the mount, but it could be used on other boats. You need to make sure that you get a trolling motor that is the best length and has the best mount for your needs.

Kenneth-I am using my drift anchors on a 16 foot boat. I am not sure what size you might need for a bigger boat. I would imagine it depends on the type of lake and conditions you encounter. I "googled" for information before I purchased mine so that might be a good source. Sorry I cannot be of more help.Bob Watson

Depends the distance between the water and the bow. Normally fits good because this model is adjustable. I have a 16 feet long V boat and fits good.

Thank you David. I haven't completely figured out where I want to put it on the pontoon. How well is the unit watertight? If the unit was mounted close to the water do you think it would get any water inside? Thanks again.

I installed it on a 16' sylvan fishing boat. as long as you have a solid place to mount it you should be fine.

Hi Cheryl, This is a very well made product! I am not sure what transom you plan on mounting this on, but I have an inflatable Achilles 12ft boat. I load everything including 115lb outboard and sometimes take the boat down some pretty rough paths to get to the water. I need something that won't break while going over branches, mud, etc. Then, when you get to the lake, just raise the wheels. They will lock upright in 2 different positions. Just take your time while determining where to mount them the brackets on your boat, the directions are good. You shouldn't pull your boat with your vehicle; not sure why you would be worried about the hub or tire. They should last for years. Check air once a season; like all tires, they tend to needing slight filling once a year. Very simple to raise and lower; spring loaded slots. And yes, pull the lock pin on each wheel and you can remove them. I am very critical on alot of poor Amercian engineering and spent alot of my life repairing things. I like the best in what I buy and would recommend this highly to you. You won't find any better. Enjoy!

Hey A.S.! There definitely is the possibility of mounting 2 side by side. The Hullaport requires approximately 17" from the back of the carrier to the front. If your crossbars can fit this lenght, x2, we should be okay!

I have a '92 Century Bowrider. It's 18', the width I'm not sure of but close to average for a boat that style. The cover is fairly generous for my boat. I use two upright expandable poles to take up slack. It's actually worked pretty well.

You can check with a tape to see from your bow to water line. But the 54" will work better if there are any waves at all. I got the 48" for my 16 footer and small waves bring it out of the water, to late for me.

I installed it on a 13.9 Boston Whaler sport craft. I am not familiar with your vessel, however, the unit was easy to install and the directions are very clear. The aluminum tubing will bow in about 2 inches.

Haven't had the chance to use ours yet. Purchased it to use on a 16' canoe. I would check your weight capacities for the boat for guidelines. I wouldn't think the 45 would be 'overkill' in houspower.

yes, I did on my inboard pontoon. Works great! second pump for extra safety.I had to add another drainage tube and hole but it's worth it. Got those parts from Wal-Mart online $15.00Stayed ahead of 5 inches of rain this past weekend.Glenn

I don't see why not took a look at your boat online.... Should be able the mount it on the sides.... I use mine on a sit inside fishing kayak and it works just fine.. Just gets in the way alittle bit when I make a far move

Yes, this one floats on top of the water well with the least amount of drag out of all our tubes. You should be fine, even with this smaller boat, as long as your rider(s) are within the tube's weight limit.

I purchased this winch for our 13' Valco fishing boat, which is not a pontoon boat. My decision was made based on reading a review by a fellow purchaser who said it works. My husband is very handy and he also thinks it will work although it may require adding a surface to mount it. Unfortunately, he hasn't had time to install it yet but I have confidence that he can! Hope this helps and sorry for not responding previously. I had hoped he would get it installed this past summer at our cabin but he was too busy installing new windows. Best.
