WTB Minn Kota Maxxum Mount

[raylovefishing]

I recently purchased a used Puma with a Minn Kota Maxxum Plus 101 on the bow. The motor works great but the mount has lots of play in it when I step on the button. Makes lots of noise. I dont know if it bothers the fish much, but it sure bothers me.Thanks for looking.

Ray, I had the same problem on my maximum. I couldnt take the racket and floppiness any longer so I took the whole thing off and found the bushing in the bow were wore out. I cut the bushings in half to use as spacers for the big holes they leave behind on the bow. I went to Lowes and got me some long stainless bolts and fender washers and bolted the base straight to the bow thru the bushings and it made a world of difference. Not sure this is recommended, but after talking with others that said the bushings dont last long, its what I decided to do and works good and solid now.

I had the same thing happen to mine….turns out the boat was put on plane with the trolling motor down…not very smart…and the breakaway bolts on the side of the mount were bent…a quick call to Jones Trolling Motor in Texarkanna and I got the bolts replaced…ended my problem.
