Pop rivets? Since it could carry the full weight of a person bouncing in choppy water I'd worry enough to use nuts and bolts.

If I could balance on that narrow strip I would be performing in circ de soleil 😀

That lip is for my trolling motor
I am adding another thicker piece for support

One thing I would do different on my jon boat would be to mount the
Trolling motor socket vertical, make a plate/bracket or something.
Mine is on top so water can get in there if you disconnect the TM
Connector when not in use.I have a quick mount w/lock on my trolling motor so you can use on different boats or remove it for security.

Yes, the trolling motor is off my Crestliner
Both boats will be stored 50 miles from my house.
I take everything off the boat for storage.
I am adding the twist socket for the trolling motor.

Where you find the bracket or did your connector come with it?
