[QUOTE="thill, post: 523241, member: 4972"] The plywood worked great and never budged in years of use. Yes, it was relatively lightweight. Some aluminum alloys are surprisingly heavy. I bought a piece of 18" x 18" x 3/8" Aluminum Plate- 6061-T651 alloy from onlinemetals.com when they were on sale for $35. It was 12 lbs. It's a lot more expensive now, even on sale: [URL]https://www.onlinemetals.com/en/buy/aluminum/0-375-aluminum-plate-6061-t651/pid/1249[/URL] I'm super- happy with how the mounting plate turned out. I didn't have to cut or remove my bow rail, and the trolling motor is completely out of the way. I have a second one, and I suppose I should sell it. No need for another, as I only have one boat that could use it. Plus, I can double the price, and still give someone a good deal. [/QUOTE]
