Little project for my 2520 I added a Rhodan trolling motor made a custom pulpit mount and battery box

Hard to tell......Starboard or Alum?

Inside.....I see the circuit breaker......Where is the Master ON/OFF switch?
Maybe your just not finished yet?

1/2” aluminum the battery box wasn’t completely done but to the left of the breaker is the switch and the trolling motor plug is in the anchor locker

I’d like to do the same on my 2320. Can you share the dimensions of the bump out for the trolling motor base from the pulpit?

Have you had a chance to use the new trolling motor?? I’d love to hear a performance report….

What shaft length did you go with? Just browsed above and did not see it? How much of the foot is in then water?

I live in Connecticut. I would love to see your boat and take measurement for my 2020 2520. You did an superb job on this project. Did you make and install the custom pulpit mount yourself? Please let me know if we can speak further and pick your brain

I considered that mount as well, but opted out because of docking hazards and exposed TM shaft. I went with a shuttle slide and fabricated an offset mount to mount the puck.

Still very interested in shaft length for a forward 2520 mounting.

Yeah definitely I’m happy to help

96” probably like 1-1/2’-2’ in the water

How is the obstructed Port Nav light handled?

On my 2520XLD, I had a 84” Rhodan for 2 years, but went to a 96” this year. The prop on the 84” would come out of the water too often for my liking when water was “bumpy” while spot locking in the ocean or sound. I’d definitely recommend a 96” shaft if you want to effectively use the trolling motor in more “nautical” conditions.

I have a quick thread on the install. You should be able to find when searching my screen name.

Hi Togntime, Striper56 here. I was reading about Rodan how you went with shuttle slide and fabricated an offset to mount the puck.
I own a 2510 and would it work on my Parker?
looking for best options.

Good morning yes it’s a 1/2” aluminum plate. I honestly don’t think I would change anything it’s worked perfectly for me so far
