[QUOTE="benjineer, post: 436802, member: 3833"] Well, I got my board all sealed up, and I was all excited and ready put start putting it together. I drilled into the transom at the bottom and ended up right inside the knee braces shown above. I never even thought about it hitting there. Now I have to cut some of them out just to get a wrench in there. Nothing is ever easy. Update: I also galled one of the 3/8 SS bolts I was using and had to cut it off. Got everything straight yesterday with my air die grinder and a carbide tree bit. Also had to remove the 1/4" aluminum plate on the inside of the transom and cut enough out on one side for the washer and nut to clear. Other side was ok. I also replaced the motor well drain as it was broken, and I added a layer of aluminum to the outside. I know I have no new pics for y'all, but I'll try to get this sewed up today and tomorrow evening, take some pics, and get the motor put on Saturday. Then I have to get the remote stuff hooked up and see how much junk I'm going to have to buy. The bass boat steering I was going to snag is froze up, but maybe I can get it loose. I haven't tried yet, just walked by and felt of it. [/QUOTE]
