Minn Kota Quest Adapter Plate

Long Awaited

I waited 6 months for this design to come to market. Certainly, worth the wait; however, my disappointment is that with the quick mount, holes from adapter plate only line up (6 bolt holes), if you mount your Quest motor straight. If you angle the trolling motor, you can only use 4 of the 6 predrilled adapter plate. The quick mount has to be manually drilled and counter sunk, thus concerned about warranty issue (if one should arise) and how strong the mount will be if only 4 bolts are used to secure the trolling motor? The plate is certainly thick enough for structural support, but hopefully, the torque will be accommodated.
