Best way to mount a TM ?????????

[Champ186]

Hey guys, I know this has been asked before but I am new so be patient with me. I am upgrading my MG TM to a new MG Tour Digital with 82# thrust. What's the best way to mount it? I had planned on using the orginal holes. Should I use the typical rubber expaning bolts that is for TM mounting or should I use another technique? Toggle bolts, etc? I want to keep it quite and the vibrations down. Any suggestions?

Mount it on a quick release plate with whatever method is easiest. Toggle bolts are not necessry if you can reach the bolts to install the nuts. Otherwise the well nuts (the rubber expanding deals) work well to isolate vibration. The quick release plate allows you to quickly remove the motor for safe storage at home if the boat needs to sit outside or in storage somewhere.
