I am so excited, my brother surprised me with an early Christmas gift and I have to say, it's fantastic! He asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said, "Something useful for the boat and don't spend over $200". He's not a huge fisherman so I was wondering what he could find. He bought the ShuttleSlide after seeing it advertised on Florida Sport Fishing Facebook. It's a retractable trolling motor mount and so useful, I think. The "slide" moves my trolling motor into my boat -- it just slides over, nothing that could pinch you, nothing to lift and move over -- very well engineered in my opinion. It also functions like an extension. It's not big and heavy, maybe 4-5 lbs and smaller than my other mount. (I guess he knew no one wants added weight to the boat). He installed it for me this past weekend and it works so well. Doesn't move around, not wiggly, has a quick release. Does anyone have it installed on their boat? Would love to know if it still works great after longtime use? It comes with a lifetime warranty, so I suppose the manufacture is confident. So, please let me know  Here is the information (in case you guys have no idea what I am talking about): www.shuttleslide.com I have the 7HD model. I am very pleased with his gift choice. In years prior, he has bought me some crazy stuff, but this one is one of my favorites. Now I have to top his Christmas gift! I'm not a big picture person, so I'll try and get some pictures uploaded later. I'm going fishing on Friday!

That's interesting!. I didn't see them deploying the trolling motor using the standard pull cord. I know having to bend over and hit that release each time would suck. I watched all of their videos mat search more online. How is your telling motor installed? I do like being able to slide it back inside more so my cover fits better.

I know I'm a girl and you guys don't think girls can't fish. That's ok. I still like the product and I'm glad I got one. I just think it's a good product and I was happy to mention it to you guys because everyone has been welcoming. So everytime someone posts about something they think works well on their boat, then it's an advertisement.......ok.

I watched all of their videos mat search more online. How is your telling motor installed? I do like being able to slide it back inside more so my cover fits better. The metal slide was bolted directly to my trolling motor. The slide is also bolted to my deck. I'm not sure what a pull cord is, there is no cord. It just sits on my deck and slides the motor over.

Add or not, it's an interesting product. Wish I had seen this when I still had my flats boat. It looks like it's geared more toward the saltwater motors like the riptide, they don't have a pull cord, just a foot pedal latch.

Jessa, welcome to the forum and i'm glad that you liked the product enough to tell others about it. Ignore Jeff from Iowa, he posts a lot of negative comments on here lately. He thinks he is mister know it all. He needs to find an Iowa fishing forum and stick to that and get off of here.
BTW my daughter in law loves to fish and she is good at it.

I used a similar product when I had a Terrova on my boat. I've changed trolling motors and sold that mount with the Terrova. They no longer produce that slide mount, so thank you Jessa for sharing. I now know where to look if I, or someone I know, should be in the market for such a product.
