    Javelin trolling motor

    Ok I’m trying to install a new fortrex on my 2001 javelin renegade 18 . There’s no way I can reach the bolts so it doesn’t have a recessed tray. My question is can I reach the bolts if I do or is there any other way to reach them? It is the same hull as a Stratos 273.

    Should be able to reach them from the rod locker, and I think there is also a access panel at the nose. I had a venom 18 javelin, should've been the same boat. Know I could get to the bolts on mine.

    The access panel is under the rubber mat on the bow. Use a putty knife to help get it started and peel/lift it back enough to remove the round cover plate.

    You can get it, just need room to lay on the deck a certain way to get your arm in and twisted/turned. Get someone to help with the bolt from the top side. I've done it a few times over the years.

    Just wanted to post this for others that can't figure out how to access the bolts or wires for the trolling motor or graphs. I have a couple extra pics showing how I chose to change it, so I had easier access in the future. I have a rubber gasket under the plate.
