257 Trolling Motor - Help Request

[Lightning]

I plan to install a Rhodan trolling motor on my 2019 GW 257 Fisherman. Wondering if anyone that has mounted one and would be so kind as to share their ideas, set up, tips, length etc... I can make a custom bracket if needed. Trying to decide between the 84" and 96". By measurement and charts the 84" should be fine, but in heavy chop is it long enough? Also don't want it too long as it is cumbersome. Suggestions and thoughts much appreciated.

Mounting Trolling Motor on a 255

Good evening everyone. I'm planning to mount an 84" Rhodan on my Grady 255. I've laid out some of my general rigging thoughts below. Any thoughts/ideas are welcome, especially if someone has a 235/255/275 that they've rigged with a trolling motor. 1. It looks like this boat is prewired...
