It was a word of caution to the OP...as many have noted on this thread what he is proposing is somewhat risky.
That is a heavily concentrated load at the end end of the lever arm, without proper bracing this could be a disaster. In any case I wouldn want all that weight (somewhat) permanently mounted up in the bow area.
Sometimes we have to accept that the designers actually knew what they were doing.

The comment on your trolling motor was a joke...hope you enjoyed the bourbon.

Merry Christmas to All!
