[QUOTE="switchback, post: 126365, member: 193"] Looks great man. Your doing a great job. The one thing I would worry about is the TM slipping off the mount. Being that thin and slick. TRUST ME. When I starting fishing with my buddy back home, He had a small flat bottom with a 15 hp motor. I made a bracket like that and we mounted the new TM. One day while fishing, we came out of a cove protected from the wind, wide open and hit some rough chop. I saw a black and red flash go past my face. Asked my buddy what the heck was that. He pointed up front and the new TM was gone. Yep, now it rests on the bottom of Sardis Lake. We're lucky it didn't hit us in the head. After that, he screwed a piece of 2x4 on the bracket with 2 countersunk holes where the TM screws down into them. [/QUOTE]
