[QUOTE="Zum, post: 164592, member: 349"] Zum, I want to make sure I'm understanding you here. Please confirm if the statements I make about welding are correct. You're saying your boat's overall aluminum sheathing is .100" and the tubing used for bracing the transom is one quarter inch thick. [color=#0000FF]Yes,to the sheathing,not sure about the tubing thickness,maybe 3/16"[/color] There are two large, very thick aluminum braces that go straight to the floor and from what I can see, are welded at all attachment points. [color=#0000FF]I'm thinking yes but with the false floor hard to see,I will post another picture down below.The 2 braces on the seats are only welded to the seats not the floor and there only bolted to the transom[/color] The tubing dimensions are 11" long, 4" wide and 3" deep and are also welded in place. [color=#0000FF]I was trying to say 1 1/4" wide by 3".I went out with the ruler just now and the tubing is 1 1/2" by 2 1/2",sorry my picture of this didn't come out clear and it's raining and blowing to hard right now to get another.[/color] The two stainless bolts are filling holes where another outboard was mounted. Yes Let me know if that's got it. Thank you for posting this. It's very useful information. Was the big bracing always there? As in part of the original setup? The bracing is all factory. I see your diagram below,looks real sturdy.The tubing on my boat is more like a 10-12" ladder just across the top of the transom.It has acouple extra pieces of tubing where the motor would mount.
