[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 516586, member: 21536"] Pros and cons. Pros: Save as much as $25 cost of square foot of 1/4 aluminum plate. Save time sourcing aluminum. Cons: Potential for rust/corrosion (the plate will be subject to rust regardless of what it is against and don't forget your outboard will be clamped/bolted to this plate). Extra weight (about 3x aluminum plate). Doesn't mean you can't do it. Like [USER=850]@lckstckn2smknbrls[/USER] says coat the steel (including the bolt holes). [/QUOTE]
