I don't bring my tm with me every trip,but my bracket is permanently mounted to the front deck. If you fly fish or you don't want a bracket like mine you can get a removable bracket in which you use a tramson tm on the bow.
Get the smallest minn kota with i-pilot and be done. Get the mounting block for easy removal. It will move that 13' skiff good. My boat's 17' and it scoots.
