[QUOTE="lckstckn2smknbrls, post: 415168, member: 850"] Once I had my transom cut to shape I installed it in the boat and marked all the holes on both sides on the wood. The bolts are 1/4". I drilled all of the holes half way thru the wood with a 5/16" bit the flipped the transom and drill the rest of the way with a 1/4" bit, then finish drilling the hole from the first side with the 5/16" bit. My thinking was the 1/4" bit would find the 5/16" hole and follow it. Of the 26 holes thru the transom only 2 where not perfectly in line. I had to open 2 of the holes in the braces a little. I used a drill press. [/QUOTE]
