Roger,what kind of aluminum boat do you have? Alumacraft used to offer a
raised trolling motor shelf mount that goes on the foredeck,I mounted one
on my old 14ft years ago with pop rivets.


The boat is a 14ft Lowe lake jon.

I can get aluminum sheet 5052 and stainless (or aluminum) pop rivets, I have
a metal cutting band saw. I thought if I can't find a better solution, I
could cut, bend, form, grind, and join aluminum to make a nice mount for the
front of the boat. I have a large TIG welder set up for welding aluminum
but it would take a considerable investment of time for me to learn to use
it good enough to want to weld on my boat.
