[QUOTE="crashbuilder, post: 60436, member: 784"] Hi Guys, I need a little help here .... I’m in the process of moding my Tracker V12 and I need some advice. I want to add some “Smart Tabs” to the transom but I’m not sure how to secure them. The transom is double walled with no filler between the two aluminum surfaces. That means that if I drill thru both surfaces I’m likely to have leak issues. I was thinking the best bet was to pop rivet the tabs to the external surface. I guess I’d: drill the holes squirt in some 3M 5200 insert rivet pull rivet seal rivet with more 5200 What do you think? Or is there some kind of hollow insert that can be placed thru both hull surfaces that will allow me to bolt the tabs on? I’ll be heading back to the islands this Dec. to continue work on this: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4738 Looking forward to input [/QUOTE]
