MINN KOTA CLAMP SCREW KIT

Pros: - They exist and are available in Canada - Better design than the originals Cons: - The thread on the screws doesn't really match the thread on the motor bracket. They fit really tight, and the dig in the old thread. I got them in the first time and they worked, but I later took them out and that was the end of the bracket threads. Now I'm using wing nuts, but this requires an extra hand. - The screws that keep the clamps in place are too short and tighten the clamps so they won't spin free. The result is they come unscrewed when you tighten them onto the mount. I replaced them with longer ones which when tightened allow the clamps to spin freely. Admin - are you sure it was a Minn Kota clamp? The screw thread is exactly the same so I am wondering if the threads in your mount are buggered?
