The aluminum mounts are made of nearly indestructible 6061 aluminum and are 3" wide, which helps to reduce motor vibration to some extent. The aluminum clamps work well on inside facing vinyl and flat gunwales of at least 1/2" width, while the ash (wooden) motor mounts are lighter and the solid bar clamp style fits nearly all gunwales. I hope this information is helpful, and please let me know if you have any additional questions.

With a 30 thrust Minn Kota trolling motor, it worked pretty well in my 13 foot plastic fishing canoe. The only problem I had was that the mount would occasionally slip forward. Because of the motor's forward thrust, there is a side clamp. It took a lot of re-sliding and re-sliding to get it right. the tightening You could use a screw or a small C-clamp to secure it. clamp. I wish the wing nuts were a little bigger because they get sucked into the clamps' corner grooves. Between the nut and the clamp, a heavy washer can be used.

The wing nuts for the mounting bolts do not appear to fit tightly enough into the V brackets, as others have mentioned. That should be fixed with a few washers from the hardware store. In the meantime, I'm using the bolt backwards. br>Unlike others, I didn't need to drill any additional holes to make the mount fit. For my purposes, the outside holes were ideal. One foot separates the holes.
I only needed to drill four additional holes to match up to the gear tracks on my BooneDox Landing Gear to mount it. Yak Gear track nuts make it simple to install and remove, and it's very stiff and won't flex even when using a 34 thrust motor.
The seller stated that I could return it for a different mount, but I received no response after multiple attempts to contact him. In the end, it was a waste of time and money. It was a huge let down.
I went out and bought a regular V-neck sweater. clamps, which I discovered after using them on my canoe's aluminum gunnels ( When you raise the trolling motor a few times to remove weeds, they come loose (1/2 inch depth underneath). Robert (the seller) alerts users to this possibility and includes an email address with the package. I emailed him, and he promptly sent me a new clamp (one board to sandwich the gunnels).

Robert delivered a high-quality product. The mount's underside will be held in place with a wood clamp. I gave it a shot today, and it was fantastic.

I'm in a good mood right now. br>Thank you for your kind words, Robert!.
