[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 149306, member: 863"] Hi all, it's been a while. Need an idea to reinforce my trolling motor bracket. The design is fine still but I need to secure it to the port side top rail. I thought the wood to wood L-brackets securing the right side of it to the deck, plus the nut/bolt and screw up front would be enough, but it's not. The torque of the TM has pulled the screw loose, and it is going to put too much pressure on my remaining nut/bolt and L-brackets. The side resting on the top rail actually raises off the top rail when the TM is on a higher setting. Ideas on how to cleanly secure this bracket to the top rail would be appreciated. EDIT: Not that it matters, but I have a Motorguide on the boat now, not this POS Prowler seen in the pics. Albright1695, I expect a reply STAT! :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
