 Mounting a trolling motor quick release?
How in the world do yall get up in the front hatch to install a quick release? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of room in there.

 Re: Mounting a trolling motor quick release?
Had to lay on my back and stick my head up under the deck holding a wrench, with someone on the outside with a drill. Never seize the stainless bolts or they'll gall if you run em in too fast.
Sure was nice to take 30 seconds to put my trolling motor back on yesterday though haha.
