Rated 4 out of 5Â by CharlesD Its ok once in
As others have attested to, they can be very difficult to get the screw in without it spinning. Instructions say press firmly in while screwing in the screws. However for me that didn't work (guess I'm getting old). What I did was apply construction adhesive on the smooth part of the nut under the flange down to the splits and waited 24hrs. No problem at all then screwing in the screws. Because lets face it, the only time we want them to come out is when we drill them out. I agree with another person that said a taller section (maybe like a NUT to apply a wrench) would work. I used a Minn Kota quick release plate (metal) and tested it, and works good. The motor guide or rubber T nuts just don't last wtihout breaking. Plus these mounts are a LOT cheaper and seem to work way better.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by greatbasshunter improved product
the Minn-Kota Quick Nuts are a big improvement over the older style rubber T bolts. These will not deteriorate and hold very secure. I almost lost my trolling motor because the guy that put it on used the old isolator bolts. Three of the four had ripped in two and the nut had fallen off. It would be nice if the head of the quick nuts were a little taller so you could hold it with pliers until the threads start to tighten up.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by RaytheMo Good product, difficult to install
The product worked great once installed, however. the installation was a lot more difficult and time consuming than I thought it would be.

This was the only trolling motor mount that I could find in the store. I brought it home and installed them. They are difficult to keep from spinning when installing but once you get them in they are solid. Remember that they require a 5/8" hole and unless you have that drill bit plan on another $10-15 for that. Still don't know why companies don't spec stainless steel hardware for marine applications. That is my only complaint. Works great!

don't know why it wouldn't. You'd probably need 2 packs though cause the motor guide I took off this boat had 6 mounting holes and my minn kota only has 4.
