[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 513494, member: 3438"] It is a rather large gap, and suspect it will be more than pictured, if the rubber mounts weren't on the front. I think with stacked washers, more susceptible to bolt twisting/leaning sideways, under torque. Not sure what size trolling motor the OP is putting on, but some boats only support up to 80lb thrust. And that is with a flat mounting on a boat designed for it. Not saying washers wouldn't work, it was just a recommendation based on the stack size. If the OP attemps that, then highly recommend six mounting bolts. [/QUOTE]
