[QUOTE="OldTinBoatGuy, post: 326503, member: 9059"] Had a similar concern and I've decided to go with stainless steel bolts. My Lone Star has a thin bow cap and I'm am planning on using a thick aluminum back plate with about a 50% bigger footprint than the trolling motor mounting plate on the underside and bolting it all together. I think it will be my best option and will allow for easier removal if necessary and an overall more sturdy mounting method. I love using rivets, but going with bolts for this one. [/QUOTE]
