Thanks for the input guys...!
TubeDude, Great insight too. Your pictures are worth a thousand words.
I have been thinking about adding the motor mount using PVC pipe also. I love using PVC to make stuff.
I am thinking about a spring gate hinge on wood block that the motor mounts too. I did this many years ago with a canoe troll mount. Gate hinge that is spring loaded will let the motor bounce up if it hits a rock and the spring will push it back in the water once cleared. The spring on the gate hinges are adjustable for torque also. It may be a while, but once I make something, I'll post some pictures.
Thanks again.
