[QUOTE="AlexB, post: 415062, member: 21169"] Thanks, Dale. You're right. The aluminum shouldn't see any bending stress in the situation, and frankly I think it will be be way overbuilt with two 1/8" sheets to repair the thin (1/16"?) piece I'll be cutting. To make the repair even more burly, I also ordered some 1/8" thick 1.5x2" aluminum angle that will wrap around around the 90* bend of the transom brace (the bend that gives a flat surface for bolting to the transom). The angle will be secured with more SS bolts and should restore all of the original rigidity/stiffness of the brace. [/QUOTE]
