[QUOTE="SteveBob, post: 484995, member: 31345"] Understood on your post on the side supports although I do not see the need since I will be mounting them flush to the transom. The rivnuts are not aluminum but are actually stainless steel as will be the washers and bolts. The shear strength should be at least as strong as bolting them on from the inside of the pod which is totally acceptable per the manufacturer and many posts I have read and videos I have watched. Also as I have mentioned earlier, they are not 1/4" 20 but rather 3/8" 16. This is the bolt size the manufacturer recommended for bolting them on. I think the aluminum will rip before the rivnuts fail. [/QUOTE]
