Engine-mounting an Electric trolling motor

Hi, I have seen an add in the back of some (bass) boating magazines in the
past, in which a standard electric trolling motor is piggy-back mounted onto
the back of a standard outboard engine. Now that I'm in the mood to try to
mount mine that way, onto a Johnson 130HP, I can't find any information on
the company whom was selling this attachment goodies.


Has anyone seen this add and can point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

I've seen *special* trolling motors mounted on outboards, but never standard
ones. A guy in my club has a Minn Kota without a shaft on his outboard.
Pretty useless in thallows I might mention...

A lot of the striper guides around here use one that mounts to the lower unit
of the outboard. You steer it with the steering wheel , only cable is power -
works great in open water for stripers but I would not want one on a bass boat.

We just rigged one on a big pontoon boat, the thing works best on a big
sterndrive, the outboard lower unit is almost too shallow, and it cavitates
pretty easily.

There are also the Lenco units that attach to a set of trim tabs, fairly
common on the coast, something to look at also if your rig could use tabs
for performance.
