FAQ
Can the NS130 Bow Mount Plate Kit be used with all types of trolling motors?
The kit is designed specifically for bow-mount trolling motors and works best with models that have standard mounting brackets. Compatibility may vary depending on motor size and design. Please verify motor specifications before purchase.
Is the EVA foam pad adjustable for different motor sizes?
The EVA foam pad is pre-shaped to fit standard motor profiles and provides a stable, noise-reducing surface. It is not adjustable but offers consistent performance across typical motor dimensions.
How does the webbing strap secure the mount plate?
The webbing strap attaches to the bow mount plate and secures it to the skiff’s hull using a quick-release buckle. It provides a firm hold while allowing for easy removal and repositioning.

Installed the NS130 kit on my 12-foot skiff and it fits perfectly. The HDPE plate is light but strong, and the EVA foam reduces motor noise significantly. The webbing strap holds firm even in choppy waters. Easy to assemble and doesn’t interfere with fishing gear.
Liam Arnold –
Good quality materials, especially the anodized aluminum rails which don’t show signs of rust. The EVA pad is comfortable and keeps the motor stable. Only minor issue is that the webbing strap needs tightening after a few hours of use.

This kit made setup much easier than previous models. The forward track mount boards help with alignment, and the lightweight design doesn’t add much drag. Works well with my 100-lb trolling motor. No issues during long trips.
