[QUOTE="chevyrulz, post: 324060, member: 10914"] thanks Colby! Shaggs, I appreciate the info & pictures. I actually have seen that style motor support before & considered it, if my bungee ever fails me, I'll look into getting one :mrgreen: this past weekend, I swapped out the front V style bow stop that came on my trailer for a home-made one which fits my hull. cost $10, I had the 2x4 laying around, but the carpet & stainless hardware had to be purchased from lowes. I'll put a picture of it up here soon. I used 1.5" x 3/8" stainless bolts, nyloc nuts, & washers, 1 linear foot of black outdoor carpet, & about a 1' of treated 2x4. the tabs that held the old V style bow stop just needed to be finessed a little to work as a mount. i put a crescent wrench on the tabs & bent each one 90 degrees to the outside to make mounting tabs for my flat bow stop. on the 2x4, i used a 7/8" paddle bit to countersink the bolt heads so they don't hit the hull. it's rock solid, when it moves, it's the winch post flexing & not the 2x4 lol [/QUOTE]
