[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 144537, member: 432"] Can you screw the fastening clamps out much farther than they are now? From the pictures it looks like you have them backed out almost as far as they will go. I might would drill a hole halfway into the inner wooden blocks you mount so the clamp screw would go below the gunwale into the wooden block. You will have to cut off the clamp feet and install a washer in the bottom of the hole you drill for the clamp screw to act as a footing for the screw. If you do cut the feet off you can cut the screw to a length that is better suited to keep the clamp screw tightening handles out of your way. If the trolling motor is still under warranty do not cut the feet off. Someone else may have a better suggestion. [/QUOTE]
