Default How do I install trolling motor on deckboat?

Hello everyone,

I just purchased a 2005 Fisher Freedom 21' deckboat. I'm not sure how do get under the front deck by the bow to install the trolling motor. The trolling motor has bolts with nuts. Is there another type fastener that I can use with having access to the underside of the deck?

Thanks,

Don

Use these: http://www.iboats.com/Minn_Kota_Quic...view_id.259225
Be sure to recheck tightness several times after using. I think they are also called well nuts.

I wasn't able to find the Minn Kota product locally and I didn't have time to wait for shipment. I did find the rubber mounting isolators which worked after I located longer screws. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
