[QUOTE="DrNip, post: 363509, member: 10062"] I riveted it straight to the bow. Was no way of getting a nut onto the bolt if I went this route . My problem was I had to cut the mount to fit and this created a weak point which caused two big cracks in the mount. The rivets mounted to the bow worked loose from moving the motor up and down regardless so that is why I welded the new mount. If you use rivets check them often. I can't believe how fast mine worked loose. Here are some pics of old mount and cracks and new mount. The new mount is also 1" wider so the trolling motor bolt holes aren't on the edge.
