Trolling motor mounting on 2001 Nitro 288 sport?

[Mark Armstrong]

I just baught a 2001 Nitro 288 sport and I want to use the trolling motor mounts that came on the boat. But I can't find anything about it online. I also went to Bass Pro and they didn't know either. Can anyone help me out with this? The boat has two 3 inch round mounting pucks built on to it. One looks like a key hole and one has threads.

I wonder if it is for a quick release type mounting bracket that goes on before you mount the trolling motor. At least that is what I am seeing out there on the internet. Not sure where you get one that was made for that exact configuration though.

Thank you for your reply. I ended up finding one on eBay. It is a Tracker quick release Gator mount. Im going to make a top plate and custom fit it.
