[QUOTE="SteveBob, post: 484981, member: 31345"] These pods already have the angle built in. So they will mount flush with the transom. The rivnuts I'm using are blind and are closed on the blind end making them waterproof. I intend to install the rivnuts into the pods. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/3RDPPh2s/12.jpg[/img] Then I will put bolts through the transom and into the pods.[b] I will not be putting the rivnuts in the transom.[/b] I will then seal around each rivnut, along the outer edges of the pods, and at the bolt holes in the transom with heavy duty marine adhesive/sealant. I cannot understand why some of you think this will not work. If you still think it will not work, please tell me why. What is the mechanical justification for failure of this setup? If it will leak.... Why - Where? If it is not strong enough Why - How? I'm reasonable and open to any common sense responses. I was otherwise occupied, so I have yet to perform any installation of the pods thus far. Thank you. SteveBob [/QUOTE]
