Has anyone put a trolling motor on an LS/LX 2000? Any ideas around brackets, placement, and specific set up?

I think I might be scaring away the fish when I start up the engine(s) on my boat and it would be great to troll around. I have to think an electric would do the trick nicely

I have never seen it done but I think it would be cool to mount one between the jets and use it as a stern thruster.

Here is a top view of my mount. I did it this way so I didnt have to drill holes in the actual boat. So when I go to sell it I will fill in the holes in the locker door and put a SeaDeck mat over them, Like new.
