[QUOTE="fish devil, post: 395935, member: 1301"] I have done it a few times. The BEST way is to cut the head off the old bolts. Push them through. Leave them in the boat. You will then drill new holes and use TOGGLE bolts to install the new motor. Make sure you get the right size bolts, long enough to go through the deck and accept the toggle. This is all done from the top, very easy to do. You can also use ISOLATOR bolts made of rubber specifically for trolling motors. They keep vibration levels down. They work but wear out really quick causing the rubber to break. Any upgrade to a 24v or up will cause these things to wear out super quick. [/QUOTE]
