Default Trolling Motor Mount

I did a forum search with no luck. I picked up a Minn Kota Rip Tide 80 SF 62" and I need to mount it to the front of my Sea Fox. Have a deck with no holes in it leaves me feeling nervous installing the new motor....lol. I was going to punch some holes in it and bolt it from the bottom but someone told me about some anchors that wedge in the fiberglass deck. What should I do in this case?

Picture is misleading. The bolt goes thru the other side.

That is exactly what I was talking about. I was worrying that they would rip out.

Superior trolling motor uses toggle bolts on every trolling motor they mount. They are the best when it comes to trolling motors and I've never had and issues with them. They sell them for 5$ a bolt but I am sure you could find them at Home Depot for around he same.

The ones Marque showed in his post are the ones I used on my Seafox. They have worked very well for me so far. Put a bit of blue thread lock on them and you will be good to go.
