Garmin Force Mounting Holes?

[eyedabassman]

I have a MK Maximum so does anyone know if the Force would d match up to the Maximum? Thanks

Trolling motor mounting holes never line up.    Use a piece of 1/4" dowl rod and some fiberglass resin to plug up the old holes.

I was shocked that MG finally addressed this. The new Tour mount is built to match an MK or an MG hole pattern. Takes a little fiddling.

Haven't opened the box on it yet, because the used spare I found seems fine. Might return it. 

Just makes sense you'd want to make it easier for people to switch from the competition's motor to yours, as a manufacturer.

Takes more than a little fiddling I'm afraid.  

Just because the mounting holes align doesn't mean that the degree of overhang is acceptable.....Which it never is.

Right. But it's a start. I'll take any crumbs they'll throw us.
