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. |

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

| That would be easy enough if I could see it. I am going to give it a try. 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/template.asp?pagename=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. |

| Can you reach it if you have the nut in a socket with a socket wrench
or long breaker bar? 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 http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp;jsessionid=MAXAKUYRNS51DTQSNOECCNWOCJVYWIWE?id=0019016016153a&type=product&cmCat=search&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=bolt+trolling+motor+mount&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=bolt+trolling+motor+mount&noImage=0
