Trolling motor mount on Tahoe Q6 SF question

[DC Neck]

I've read every post in the Tahoe boat forum on the trolling motor mount plate for the Q-series Ski and Fish boats. Current Tahoe's have a different mounting system than older ones. There's a plate that is supposed to attach to the hockey pucks in the attached pic, but for the life of me I can't figure out how the plate I've seen online would attach to these. I've seen pucks with the T-slot receiver, but nothing that would attach in these holes. Tracker cust service is literally no help.

If anyone has these mounts, can you tell me how the plate attaches and stays put?

No Title

A pic of the plate I found online. By the measurements of the pucks, this should fit, but I don't see how it stays attached.

Took a chance and bought a plate from Great Lakes Skipper. It is listed as a Tracker Gator Mount part no 133039. Maybe this post will help somebody else in the future.

Remove the trolling motor power plug plastic cover inside the bow to access the underside of the pucks.
There are nuts on the underside of the pucks.
Unscrew the two factory pucks on the bow and retain the PVC spacers, screws, and nuts.
The plate comes with two new pucks, one for the slotted insert for the front, and one with threaded insert for the rear.
Use the white PVC spacers and screw the new pucks into the bow with the screws and nuts.

I used some red thread lock to make sure these stay tight.

Motorguide X3 940200210 is the recommended motor for this mount.

Sounds like a plan. Post a picture or three so we can see how it all goes together. I see you never had any comments or responses on this thread and that usually means nobody knew what you were talking about, and therefore couldn't offer any ideas or suggestions. I know I read it but didn't understand such things because I've never seen anything like that myself. That happens some times but glad you got it all figured out now. :thumb:

I bought a Gator 360 flex mount and Motorguide X3 55/FW/HB 50" trolling motor. It all fit together perfectly. I'll get some pics in this weekend.
