[QUOTE="longjohn119, post: 135237, member: 2826"] Mount seat base plates are always problematic in existing aluminum seats, sheet metal screws don't hold very well, especially if you are using a post and toggle bolts never seem to get good and tight. I was wondering if anyone has tried 'well nuts' [url]https://www.emhart.com/products/pop/wellnut.asp[/url] which are like trolling motor vibration mounts, to fasten base plates to aluminum seats? They aren't cheap ($1.39 each at Lowes for 1/4") but if they work it would be worth it [/QUOTE]
