[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 382422, member: 7376"] There's 2 options in mounting to blind decks. One, Motorguide offers some rubber swell nuts specifically for this purpose, but they don't work just real great with aluminum because the sharp drilled hole cuts the rubber. The other option is riv nuts. Those are more permanent; but transfer more noise and vibration to the hull-if that is a concern. Most trolling motors are so well balanced that it's not a problem like it used to be. https://www.mcmaster.com/#riv-float-nuts/=wqpxgb Check tractor supply for channel. Sometimes they have it. Local store (not TSC, but similar/better) carries it and they're cheaper than TSC. Also if you have a scrap metal yard close by, check them as well. [/QUOTE]
