[QUOTE="chadzeilenga, post: 473426, member: 21314"] Thanks, I think I'm going to get a 1/4" Aluminum plate for both sides of the transom and then through-bolt it with some 316SS hardware and isolate the hardware from the AL with either 3M 4200 or some rubber washers. I'll put the 3M 4200 on the backside of the plate as well. I'm not yet sure how much this will increase the vibration over the current setup, but should help by adding rigidity to the transom. It's been fun wading through the McMaster-Carr bolt selection online as I found some nice AL screws to seal up holes with as well. [/QUOTE]
