This video illustrates the modification of a standard type transom trolling motor mount into a low profile quick release mount for a kayak. This tutorial used a Newport Vessels mount and some other brands may require a bushing installed in the locking unit to reduce any slop with the new pin.
Parts:
3/8 x 4 1/2 inch hitch pin.

I modified a Minn Kota C2 30 Endura using this method. The hitch pin fit snug and did not require a bushing.
