You are patient in many ways ... 7 yrs... Wow.

Use both FB and CL, they don't have exclusions clauses. There has been a fresh water, low hour, 2015 15 dlx with motor and trailer up hear for sale for a while for 4795. Just not the best time to sell a boati. In the spring it would last a couple days. Hard to sell a boat without a trailer...

I launch on unimproved ramps routinely and made a few improvements to assist. I added starboard strips to the bunks for easy release, roller at the stern, roller 3/4 towards bow, and tilted the bunks slightly raising the fronts so they slope towards the rear. Eases the angle of approach on...

Choose a brand that well represented in your region. Good service is a great thing.

Power trim is a winner especially if you run up into shallows. Suzukis are quite popular here and pretty affordable. Good warranties too.

This is much better. Y'all aren't good for my paranoia. Thank you.

I'll make a base plate spacer and then put channels where the screws are to help with a little bit of draining behind the plate.

I have a 1/2" piece of starboard that could be easily made into the ice cream between two aluminum sandwich pieces. But it's a soft material and may move too much over time. Something harder but just as durable would be nice

That's right the bracket halves are tilted and maybe slightly bent with the "connecting plate" bending the most to accommodate.l the irregular surface Ill go through it again an see what the most direct way to relive the stress. There are bolts for the plate that connects the 2 halves, right...

No impact gun. The center tie is thin and deformed fairly easy. Should straighten easy too. As the transom side is made of 2 half's, the inside plate edges tilted away from the transom easily. I did use 4200 at the through holes and between washers. None along the bracket. I don't really...

All advice/ideas appreciated. Thank you.

Appreciated. The transom is super solid. All layers visible and nice shaving when drilled. The more I look, the less it seems the transom moved and its robustness seemed to force the plate to bend instead. The plate now has an obvious bend which would need to be remedied if I dimpled the...

Looked again... sometimes it takes a few good looks and thinking in between... The transom side plate is 2 pieces bound by the ram mount in the middle. The plates flexed a bit and the ram bracket bent to accommodate. I'm gonna sit on it for a moment and think through y'all's advice. Thank you.

Maybe relieve the plate itself. The few dimples or even holes should not creat too much of a compromise, it's pretty stout.

I don't have the ability to fab a plate but understand the idea of pay now or pay a bunch more later. The washer spacers may leave too little of the plate in contact for my liking. Perhaps aluminum strips as a spacer along the 2 vertical outside edges ... But then this will concentrate loads...

Picking up what I'm laying down pretty well. Upon closer inspection, looks like less deflection in the skin and more so in the bracket. I may have chicken littled it a bit. Here a pic or 2. I lean towards the addition spacers at the attachment points. A washer would me 90% there. The...

May have placed this in the wrong forum. Please move if necessary. Apologies.

Hey all new to the site form the PNW with a question regarding a recent install of an aftermarket tilt trim unit. Mounted on a 2015 starcraft Alaskan with a 20 hp Yamaha hanging off the back. Added the trim tilt plate over the top of the screw heads that secure the transom support to the...
