Aluminium boat modification to fit Watersnake trolling motor

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I live in Sydney/Northern Beaches and want to fit a Watersnake or Minn Kota to my Quintrex 490 Escape.  I need advice on who to use to modify the boat (aluminium platform for quick release) system.

Also very happy to have opinions about what to fit to the boat (Minn Kota / Watersnake)

If you want the best in the business for Minn Kota then talk to Ange Stama from <retailer removed>

Second that

Ange supplied and fitted my MinnKota to my Webster Twinfisher. Custom fabricated mount. He's now up at Nelson Bay but worth the drive.

Id buy a MotorGuide or Minn Kota over a Watersnake 100%

Hey onearmedfisho, thank you for your advice.  Would you mind elaborating, what is it that you don't like about Watersnake vs what you do like about the other two.
I am also not sure if my preference of 60" shaft will fit on my deck.  Where can i get drawings specific to Quintrex?
