It's good to see someone do it right. To many boats with sheet metal screws pulling out . This is the right way of doing it if you can't get to the back side to use nuts. One suggestion is to have drilled a couple holes and insert blind nuts , bolt base down then punched and drilled other holes to get them centered.

Just a 10 month update, holding strong so far !

[@andrewnorman5202]

Do you think I could mount the seat bracket with the spring upside down on the deck, and use that as my base instead of drilling a hole beside for my bolts?

[@mrreddog]

What size rivnuts or bolts did you use?? Im ready to do same thing. Excellent video.

[@This-and-That]

I don't remember, I used a bolt that was the same width as the seat plate.

[@csweet4810]

How has it held up to leaning back in the seat ?

[@This-and-That]

So far so good (and I'm a heavy guy), but keep in mind we only use this this boat for lakes that are hard to get in. Maybe been out a dozen times so far.

What’s the tool called and where can you get it

[@This-and-That]

RIVET NUT TOOL I got mine from Amazon, I have used it lots on different projects so far. I have a link up top for one.

[@DNYS8N]

Not sure what is going on.

[@andrewrodriguez6345]

What size hole for the center hole

[@This-and-That]

I believe it was 2 . 5 " but some of them could be different, just measure the thickest part of the underside that goes in the hole.

[@bill-nj6fc]

why the hell is the first hole so damn BIG

[@This-and-That]

Look right at 00:17 you can see the mount flipped upside down, the hole has to be that big for the mount so sit in it.
