[QUOTE="WVfishnfool, post: 343507, member: 10364"] I found my 1/8" aluminum at a scrap yard. It was 4'x6' and I think they charged me about $50 tax and all. I can't remember really because I bought it originally for another project I was doing a couple of years ago and then wound up using something else and just held on to this. I'm glad I did because they would've never given me all my money back at the scrap yard and it's gonna come in handy for my new project. If there isn't a scrap yard close to ya that has any check for some metal suppliers close by or on-line. Most suppliers though sell it in 4'x8' sheets and if you want it cut to size then they charge extra for that. Also if the latch is dropping down then it should hold your motor when your in the water in reverse. The spring you're talking about could be weak but I'd test it on the water first before I bought any parts or replaced anything. [/QUOTE]
