Saw the motor mounts that Malibu has got on their site and thought I could improve a bit...
I utilized the same angle iron concept (used stainless steel) that comes in the motor mount kits but the difference is I am using two pieces of aluminum that sandwich the top deck. The aluminum is Goop'd in place and will be there permanently. It's mildly tapered so it won't cut/scratch things... me in particular.

I feel this distributes the load more evenly to the hull...
also... only needs 2 bolts & wing-nuts to attach the motor mount to the kayak.
