[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 334194, member: 9470"] Man, where did I leave off. Not only did I get the jack plate I've been doing quite a bit since I last posted in July. We had numerous river trips, my son was home on leave during August so naturally me and the boys had to go on a fishing trip. Didn't catch a lot due to the August heat but he was happy to be on the river, obviously ole dad was pretty tickled too. Anyway I've fogged the motor and put it away for the winter and have started working on the boat again. As you'll see I decided to not rivet the hinge of the livewell lid, I'm going to use 5200 to attach the hinge. If you look at the lids to the battery access they rest on half of the livewell hinge. I want them to sit flush as possible so I used 5200 instead of rivets. I looked up specs on 5200 and it said it's 394 psi for an aluminum to aluminum ahesion. The stuff elongates 1350% so naturally a 1 lb. livewell lid is not going to put that kind of stress on it. If it fails at some point I'll rivet it. If anyone else has ever tried this way before I'd love to hear from you. Here's some pics. Buckethead [/QUOTE]
