Bow mount trolling motor
I have just purchased a new Tahoe 215cc and would like to mount my Minnkota
Powerdive on the bow. There is a small storage container in the bow for anchor storage but my arm is about 2 feet too short to reach thru and hold the nut for the quick connect mount. Anyone know of some type of special anchor to drop thru the hole? I want to try and avoid the wingnut type (scared it will pull thru the fiberglass), unless someone has tried it. Of course, I would much rather have a nice fat stainless washer if possible. |

If so, you can do that, and even use caulk to hold a washer in place on the socket. |

These expanding Trollingmotor mounting bolt(s) should do the trick

I may also try the other reply about the Isolator Bolts. Just FYI, I also found out about Wellnuts http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com...gename=wellnut . Don't know if they are stout enough for the tourque but if they can handle the vibration of an aircraft they may be worth a shot. |

You can do it by feel, you'll feel the nut hitting the bolt as you move the bolt around. |
