[QUOTE="chrispy186, post: 252640, member: 7184"] Well I dont have the trolling motor yet, but the mount is very solid. The mount is a small section of steel square tubing, which i sanded and applied self etching primer to. Then I painted it with some rustoleum, the closest color I could find to the boat. I drilled 3 holes and used stainless bolts. I also put a thick strip of aluminum on the under side of the front lip on the boat for added strength, just in case. On my last boat I had an L shaped bracket up front with a 2x4 on it, and after a while I had to replace the 2x4. I figure with the steel tubing I will never have to replace it. [/QUOTE]
