You're going to want to get a bracket to hold the head of the motor when stowed. She'll bounce pretty good without one. Ram makes a good option. MK makes one also.

I like the Ram better https://www.hodgesmarine.com/ramrap-...CABEgKomPD_BwE

But used the MK since it comes with the 87" TM

I found a guy who makes them they clamp on to the shaft and swing down when you need it but I think it would still bounce I like the idea of the ram mount with 2 claw ends one to the hand rail other to the motor

Spot lock on my trolling motor was the balls, eliminating anchor requirement under certain conditions and redoing tracks just changed the way you can fish. Almost like have a guide drive you around while you fish.
