If you are asking what style of motor to get? Get a Transom clamp on style motor. There is no way a Bow mount Style motor will work unless your pontoon is really big, and it would still take up alot of space. The one in the link i posted above is a transom mount, thats the kind you want.
As for where you want to put the motor, that is up to you. My boat was already set up for a motor in the back. It already had the mounting plate and everything. However i seen alot of people on here and other places that do mount their motors in the front of the boat. I agree it would be much easier to steer that way, but at the same time it would constantly be in my way. So in other words mount your motor where you are most comfortable. I do recommend a rear mount just because most boats are already setup for that and it is tucked out of the way.
