[QUOTE="richg99, post: 457669, member: 4376"] If the already excellent suggestion of aluminum didn't work out for some reason, bolting a 2x4 with maybe another 1x4 on top should fill in the gap. Bolt those to the boat and then lag-bolt the trolling motor to them. Better yet, you could work some Stainless Steel T nuts into the sandwich of wood and bolt into it ...after the wood part is firmly bolted to the boat, of course. A little bit trickier to do, but would be better than lag bolts that will work their way out sooner-or-later. [/QUOTE]
