I did't want plates in my deck so I built this contraption out of junk
Mounting 2 pedestal deck plates to my boat for side by side spider rig fishing but I can't get underneath to put nuts on the bolts that will secure the plates. Do y'all know of any anchors or bolts that I can use to secure them. Maybe some kind of expanding bolt. Don't have the money for a double seat. 7 month old took care of that! I found some toggle bolts that are used for mounting trolling motors they are expensive. $4 a piece and I need 12. May need to go to fasten all. Figure one of you guys may know of something. Thanks!
Fishing is like pizza.......Even when it's not that good, it's still pretty good!

Goggle "jack nuts", might work for your situation.
GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
John it's called toggler brand toggle bolts. These are a u-shaped peice of channel that's threaded. You insert the channel on a ziptie like collar , snap it off and the channel's secured to bottom of deck then run screws provided down tight. Its a snap...

I have used the toggle bolts and they work great
