Trolling Motor Mount for Hewes Center Consoles
Redfisher flats skiffs are light by design, so the rule here is simple: through-bolt with oversized backing washers or a backing plate to spread load across the thinner deck. Done right, the plate outlasts the boat.
One plate, either side
The plate is reversible — mount it port or starboard on your Hewes, whichever side clears your hardware. No side-specific versions to get wrong.
Fits your trolling motor
Both 4-bolt and 6-bolt puck patterns machined in — Minn Kota, MotorGuide, and most major brands drop straight on.
Built for salt
6061-T6 aluminum, designed and tested on Florida boats. Through-bolt it to your Hewes's bow deck and forget about it.

Common questions
Does this trolling motor mount fit my Hewes?+
Yes — the plate is universal. It mounts to any flat section of bow deck and is reversible, so it works on the port or starboard side of your Hewes. Owners run it on models like Redfisher 16, Redfisher 18, Redfisher 21, and fitment doesn't depend on model year.
How can I verify fitment before drilling?+
Print our free drill template at 100% scale, glue it to a piece of cardboard, and cut it out. The cardboard plate lets you test the exact footprint on your bow — check deck flatness, underside wrench access, and that the motor clears your rails and hatches — before you commit to a single hole.
Which trolling motors does it work with?+
The plate accepts both 4-bolt and 6-bolt puck patterns, which covers Minn Kota, MotorGuide, and most major trolling motor brands.
Port or starboard?+
Either. The plate is symmetric and reversible — flip it for the side that clears your cleats, anchor locker, and rail hardware. Most competitor plates are side-specific; ours isn't.
How long does the install take?+
Most installs are about 30 minutes: position the plate, drill, fasten (through-bolt for maximum strength, or wood screws where you can't access under the deck), and clip in your puck.
