My wife gave me a Minn Kota Bow Mount trolling motor for Christmas. It
came with machine bolts and nuts and I'm trying to figure out how to
install this thing. I have a 17' Key West. I cannot access under the
deck to use the machine bolts. Do they have wood supports molded under
the deck for mounting accessories like this or railing? If so, can I
just use stainless steel wood screws? Before I pull out the drill I
would appreciate any advice.

They also have expanding nuts for blind hole mounting.
