Boat is a 16’ Havoc and has had the same trolling motor that was mounted by the dealer (or Havoc, not sure) but I’m now wanting to upgrade. To do this, I have to change to a new quick release bracket but the problem is whoever mounted this one bolted the 2 front bolts to the raised lip on the deck, not the actual trolling motor plate, and there’s no access to get under it.
I have no idea how they got a nut on the bottom of the bolt with no access, but regardless this is the situation. I think I have a solution to remove them, but what would y’all use on the replacement? Cut a hole in the deck to install a small access hatch? Is there a stainless self-tightening bolt I can get at Home Depot or the likes?
