Fitting bow plate

[John.N]

Hi All,

I'm in the process of fitting a bow plate to my alloy boat.

My first choice would be to weld it on and was wondering if I need to do anything to the motor so as not to spike the computer ?

I can not remove the motor.

My other option was to fix it on with a polyeurathane used for bonding in automotive trade and using 1 or 2 bolts through the

QR plate, will this be enough to hold?

Cheers
