Trying to mount my new Terrova 101 36v on the 617. I bought the qwick release base with the puck and it looks like the motor has to go too far forward to mount it without fabricating a plate to mount the “puck” on. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Terrova on 617

Just had the same issue on my 620T using the MKA-21 kwik release mount. What I did was mount the motor plate farther back. Needed to drill new holes. That will let the puck set farther back on the bow. Real easy to do.

May 12, 2011 at 4:41 pm #965593Do you mean you drilled new holes in the terrova base so the motor plate part of the MKA-21 is further back on the motor? If so about how far back did you move it. Could you use some of the existing holes or did you have to drill all new?
May 12, 2011 at 5:16 pm #965608Yes, I drilled new holes in the terrova aluminum base plate. Dont remember how far I offset it . Dont think it was more than an inch or two. Also turned plate around. Puck is closer to one end than other. Used existing holes in MKA plate. Will be home in an hour or two. PM me with phone # and I can measure when I get home at 2:30 if you like.
