Just givimg everyone a heads up that the MinnKota quick nuts made for mounting your trolling motor where under deck access is not possible are worthless for aluminum boats. I learned this after drilling the called for 5/8" holes in my rail. They require 3/8" or more thickness to mount to. It does not say this anywhere on the packaging and MinnKota will tell you they are sorry but that is all. I was really considering going to a Terrova, but after dealing with them on this mater I don't think so. For me, they had the most awful customer service I have delt with in some time.
