When I bought the motor mount 3 years ago for $82 I thought I was getting a quality product, especially for a price that steep. Well both clamps that came with it broke the first time I tightened them. I went back to the store and they said Sevylor used to give you really thick ones and was shocked they started using POS clamps. Anyway, he had two spares and gave them to me. Well one of them finally broke.

Also, I should mention that when I called Coleman, which owns Sevylor, and told them that both clamps broke, they said they'd send me a replacement motor mount. The whole unit! I said I just need clamps. They said they can't provide. They told me in order to prevent fraud, they wanted me to destroy the entire motor mount with a hammer and send pics and then they'd send me a new one but it would take a while, which I didn't have in the middle of the fishing season.

The store said they don't carry that mount anymore for obvious reasons. And once again, Coleman said they can't provide those and to check a hardware store. So I'll head into a store with the clamp and ask if they can suggest something.

Any of you know where to get the same clamp?

It doesn't look like too unique of a product. What about a DIY type setup with parts from a hardware store? Some heavy duty clamps.
 
Yea ^ if you are handy just fab it your self. A pipe with a nut welded on would probably never break. Boats are money pits 80 buck's seems like nothing lol
 
Ended up with this. Screws were too short so I had to buy two longer ones.

Now I just have to figure out to get the same screw/bolts with thumb/wing head so I don't have to bring a screw driver with me.
 
Take those screws with you and figure out what thread they are and the rest should be cake.

Nice find on that piece and it definitely isn't going to break on you.
