USPS held the adapter hostage till Saturday. But once I got it in, the install went well. Only took four trys to get the ShuttleSlide where I wanted it. Lots of different bolt hole options. But, it's installed and waiting to go to the lake.

Great pictures Bill! Thanks for sharing with the group. You can really see the difference from "extended to retracted".

AVOID costly trolling motor repairs!

No matter what motor you have (Terrova, Ulterra, Ultrex, Rhodan, Fortrex, Powerdrive, Xi3), we can help you easily and safely slide your motor inboard, keeping it safe from ANY outside obstacles. Any overhang (that sits down close to the rub rail) can potentially cause damage to your trolling motor. So why risk it?

ShuttleSlide's RETRACTABLE quick release mounts help provide the PROTECTION your trolling motor deserves - because accidents happen. Proudly made in the USA. Message us today for more information, email: support@shuttleslide.com or order online: www.shuttleslide.com/shop.

What are you waiting for? Do you already have your motor installed and you don't want to drill any new holes in your deck? No problem - add a DPA-1 adapter plate to your ShuttleSlide order and RE-USE your existing hole pattern!

This is my boat.(red and white Nitro) I may add one more pair of bolts at the rear of the ShuttleSlide. Running the lake in rough water, stow the troll motor and that moves the weight of the motor to a more supported spot.

My original installation, I had a problem keeping bolts tight, I think due to the weight of the motor being so far out from the boat. But that is where it had to be for the shaft to clear. With the ShuttleSlide, I can move it back, tie it down and no more problems. Plus the prop is out of danger when stowed. The prop is actually stowed to starboard.

I am liking/ interested in this mount. We are authorized dealers and certified installers for the bransds/ manufactured products we carry. This would be something we could offer to our customers. Tell me something...Does it work with the MotorGuide Xi5 motors with the downward curving nose overhanging the bow?

Nice Product

When you have a moment, give us a call to discuss becoming a dealer - 321-345-3315. We would be happy to set something up. Our mount does work with Xi5. During the check-out process, we always ask the customer about their trolling motor. If they mention that they have a Xi5, we send extra "spacers" that get attached to their trolling motor and our sliding metal brackets. The spacers are required to raise up the motor so the "nose" clears the rub rail. But we have had a few customers that did not need the spacer (bottom pic).

Thank you Jay, for the great review on our website! We appreciate the support woot

"I recently upgraded my trolling motor to a new Minn Kota Ulterra 112lb / 36v w/ mega side imaging. My boat, a Ranger 212LS, 250 Pro XL, 21'6" fish/ski. Once I received the motor and looked at the size and weight of this motor, I realized that none of the recommended mounts from Minn Kota were adequate for mounting this motor on my boat. I needed one that would slide out when deployed to clear the angle of my overhang to my rub rail below my bow. Having installed numerous trolling motors on my previous boats and preferring to not ruin my boat by drilling more holes in the deck, I carefully researched my options. When I came across "Shuttle Slide" on the web, my worries seemed to be relieved. The product is extremely well designed and engineered from the best materials and their c/s tech. support was exceptional. I first purchased the SS9 UHD and the DP1 mounting plate, which allowed me to utilize my existing holes in my bow. Upon arrival, I mounted the slide on my Ulterra and dry fit it on my Ranger. Unfortunately, I still was lacking some slide length to get that motor out far enough to avoid my rubrail during deployment, and then slide back far enough to allow use of my travel cover when in the stow position. Immediately called Shuttle Slide and spoke to Russ. Sent him a few pictures and we agreed that a 5" longer unit would more than likely solve both my issues. I packed up the 1st one for return and in about 3 days, I had the new custom 14" mount on my boat. It is ideal for my boat and design and I would highly recommend it to anyone. How many bass boat pictures do you see with these huge trolling motors hanging way out over the bow that have been mounted that way because they used a poorly designed mounting. I'm not an "engineer" by trade, but I know for a fact that the Minn Kota mounts that have a "quick detach slide" ability are designed for easy removal and not for hanging a huge trolling motor in an extended position over the bow of a boat. The stress and weight of an Ulterra 36v/112lb needs a more secure mount. In my opinion, the "Shuttle Slide" mounts are far superior to anything on the market. The ability to slide my Ulterra out for deployment and back in for stow and travel is amazing. The extra money that it cost for my custom 14" unit was saved in not having to alter my Ranger travel cover one bit. Fits perfectly! Take a look at pictures of my install and how I used the 6 existing holes from my previous Terrova mount. You will not be disappointed in a Shuttle Slide product!" ~Jay S. from Ohio

We recently had a customer talk about our ShuttleSlide mount on his YouTube channel (Lonestar Catfish). He purchased the 12" UHD (ultra heavy duty) so you can see the set-up for our strongest mount.

Every boat install is different. "One size fits all" doesn't always work so we can customize a mount that fits your boat. We have adapter plates that re-use existing hole patterns on your deck. We have extension plates that help extend the reach of your trolling motor to the water line when you can't mount something close to the rub rail....give us a call and we can discuss your options!

**Our manufacturing site will be closed from December 19-25, but we will still be taking calls / emails during that time. 🎄 Happy Holidays! 🎄
