[QUOTE="fl.graderman, post: 406945, member: 20523"] If you look at my other thread... https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?t=39910 I was told how a guy drilled the rivets out to mount his trolling motor plug. When I got home, I crawled up under the front deck and right before I nearly got stuck, I reached up as far as I could and could just touch the back of that plate. I think I've determined that if you drill the rivets and pull the plate, you SHOULD BE able to reach in through the hole and tighten the nuts from underneath. Then drill the hole, mount the plug socket and seal and rivet the plate back on. This is what I plan to try this weekend. If I can't get my hand in there, I'm going to buy some rivnuts as mentioned above. I've heard nothing but bad reviews about the isolator bolts. OOPS...Killin time beat me to it. Disregard. 2015 Tracker Grizzly 1448 MVX 1996 Evinrude 25hp 3 cylinder looper [/QUOTE]
