The mount drops into the pod area of the Shearwater 125 and locks in place with a removable cover and splash plate. It accepts trolling motors up to 40 lbs of thrust, which can be fixed or steered from the pod. After installing the mount, you attach the motor with its own transom mount, and the whole setup removes easily.
