[QUOTE="pgk, post: 287412, member: 8941"] Hey I know this an old thread but one thing you'll have to watch out for with the diamond plate on the transom is your motor clamps vibrating loose because of the metal on metal contact. I know a couple guys who have lost motors this way. If you're just running the 5hp you'll be fine but if you up to something with more jam you'll have to keep an eye on it. Most guys I know with metal on metal motor mounts have their motors cabled off to the transom. Amazing work though, great transformation. [/QUOTE]
