Location: Kodiak, AK | Mine's the same way; only the back four holes, and it's been beat to hell on Lake St. Clair, so I figure it's good. I did though as you say, and I made a backing plate to spread the load on the back side of the glass. Don't know if it helps, but I feel good about it.
Also, make sure you get a RAM mount support for the shaft when it's stowed, If this is your first Terrova, you'll be surprised how much that head bounces around on the trailer and especially in the water. All that bouncing can't be good on the main mount over time. |
