[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 507660, member: 21536"] Thin meaning flimsy? With the bulkhead, I would think the bow deck would be good but I'm not there. If flimsy, perhaps reinforce by bolting a piece of aluminum angler underneath across the middle. I would use a spacer between the TM and deck so that it is even with the plate. Starboard, the less expensive option of cutting board, or just about any plastic would work. Cut/mill to the TM base profile. Make sure you have the specified overhang for the deployed TM. Mount so that the control head is not hanging outside the boat when in the stored position. Nice boat and TM. Welcome to this site. I hope you come back pics of the install. [/QUOTE]
