Was eyeing one of these mounts for trolling motor for a while... and as they are never on sale was happy to see below sale... in case anyone else is also interested on the upgrade:

Railblaza Kayak Motor Mount

Supposed to be one of the higher quality item made by company known for quality items.
Not sure I will use trolling motor very often, but on long days knowing you have few miles back into wind this is good to have... and give my knees some rest. Can be easily installed and removed.

Looks good. Make sure to use backing plates behind the bases.

yep, saw that these are compatible to Scotty Backing Plate 441.... guess they did not patent that hole pattern as Railblaza is clearly going after Scotty replacement market.... and what is better argument than 'you can use those same holes'

The Railblaza stuff I've got is really nice. Definitely not inexpensive, but rock solid.

looks difficult to get the bases aligned, mounted on a straight plane. Unless your kayak has a flat area .

Good point. But, you could form on offset spacer out of 1/4" starboard plastic to get things perfectly vertical. I've done something similar to fit a railblaza sideport mount in a cup holder, and also did a really complex spacer to mount a hatch over a curved kayak surface. Those worked well...
