I'm trying to mount this motor on a Lowe 1448 jon boat and its melting my brain.
I have to raise the base of the mount 2.75"-3" to clear the edge/side of the boat. fine, easy enough.
but the kicker here is that the bow of my boat is 2-2.5mm thick aluminum that i can no longer get behind.....
my lamebrain plan is to make a 1.5" thick base and securing it with like 10 mollies and a few brackets with self tapping screws. then on top of that another 1.5" thick slab and working the mess together with a bunch of outdoor decking screws
i know this is a bit cryptic, but does anyone have any words of advice before i make a complete mess?
has anyone else had to deal with anything similar on their boat?
