    Motorguide removal mounting plate

    Has any one used one of the MotorGuide removable mounting plates on their Bullet like this one?
    I still try to find a mount of some kind to replace the MG rubber isolaters, I cant reach the front 2
    mounting bolts to install fender washers and lock nuts.

    I used a long wrench with tape on the backside to hold the nut. Sent my mini fishing partner up into the center storage on one of my bullets. Had to drag him back out but he got there

    Well, my wife could reach all but the front 2 bolts also. So this is what we came up with, I took my die-grinder and a carbide bit and opened up the hole behind the front cover plate just enough to get my arm through and the plate still covers the enlarged hole. Thanks for the suggestions.

    I did that on my old Stratos but my arm wouldn’t fit nowadays
