Msd58,
My trolling motor mount would require you to remove the railings from your boat. I cut out a piece of 1/4 inch aluminum plate that acts as the mounting deck for the troll motor. As you can see I drilled 3 holes on each end of the plate and through bolted it next to the rubrail lip. That motor has been on the boat for about 9 years now.

Thanks for the good ideas. However I would like to keep bow rails in place. I have seen quite a few with bow rail in place and a bow mount motor .
Just wondering how to fasten quick release on the step. I can see when I could get three of the four screws just behind rub rail like you did. I was wondering about the fourth one. Is the wood under there to put a lag bolt in?
