[QUOTE="minuteman62-64, post: 390815, member: 15157"] I'd replace the steel braces with aluminum structural sections - maybe angles? That's what are used on mine. My boat (circa 1982) is and has always been strictly salt water use. SS bolts fasten the transom plywood to aluminum skin. I did put silicone on the bolts to seal the holes through the plywood. Recently I put nylon washers under the bolt heads. Never any corrosion issues. Mine was originally manufactured with carbon steel bolts on the transom. I did notice some corrosion under the bolt heads when I switched to SS. [/QUOTE]
