[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 258636, member: 6657"] Ok, that's biggest 4 hp motor I've ever seen... but iy might just be camera angle and stuff. You don't need the full length and width piece of plywood on the inside, and removing the "Z" channel, installing the wood and replacing the "Z" channel will be your best bet. If you have a rivet setting tool, aluminum closed end blind rivets will be your best bet for reinstalling the "Z" channel. But if you don't have a rivet tool the stainless nuts and bolts will work just as well, they're just more expensive. Use stainless nuts (nyloc) and bolts to fasten your new scab on and to bolt your motor to the transom too. Be sure to seal all of your wood with multiple coats of sealer. Sorry about the mix up on the motor, it just looks [b]BIG![/b] [/QUOTE]
