But are there other methods that can guarantee me a very solid fixation? I also want to screw my engine before minn kota terrova exactly in the middle of the boat's nose. The laying surface is reduced. Do you have a good method? I thought to cross two screws? (I removed the front lighting) How would you do it? I have several accessories to install on the edges of the boat (rod holders, rail railblaza rail, water separator for gasoline, ...) On other websites, it is recommended to drill, defoat with an allen key and load the cavity with a 2k epoxy adhesive. But this is very hard after. Do you have similar methods? I'm afraid it's only the fiber layer of the boat that supports my accessories. Thank you and sorry for my bad English, I am from Belgium and I speak French. A good thanks

Some owners use a slide track so they can keep the bow rail. Some owners make custom bracket.

( the fish i am looking for requires very precise drift) I will cut a 3mm steel board and screw it on the boat. I will send you photos when it's finished. Sorry for my bad englsih Edited by Stanley on 09/07/19 - 12:17 AM
