The bow of my ranger 375v will flex under the trolling motor. I put a big piece of plywood on the underside last weekend and squeezed it up using the trolling motor bolts but it didn't make much difference. So now I'm thinking I might need to put something on the top that will cover the full bow so I can squeeze the bow in between the wood I have underneath with whatever would work best on top. You guys have any suggestions?

Thanks,
