Kota mounting advice needed!

[FisherMatt]

Gday all,

Just picked up my riptide 55 bowmount today, pretty awsome looking piece of equipment!!!

But what id like to know is the different methods all of you have used to mount your electrics.
When i placed mine on my bow today, it seems that two of the holes in the baseplate atually hang out over the front of the boat when the motor is in operating position. This leaves only four holes (and therefor bolts) to hold the motor on.

Im not confident of using only four bolts, so am trying to figure out a way to mount it using all of the holes provided.

I have on order a quick release bracket mount which i hope will be here before the walpole trip, does anyone use these? and may they be a solution to my problem??

Any ideas guys and Gals?????

Thanks

MATT
