I made this to mount my 70lb transom mount trolling motor. Everything is 3/16" aluminum. The base plate is welded to the boat rail on two sides and has a plate in the back welded to the deck. The L bracket bolts on with 6 5/16" bolts and is fully welded on the outside (no welds on the inside). Will this mount be strong enough? I am worried about the times you hit a stump dead on and it stops the boat in its tracks.
