[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 161979, member: 166"] Howdy, You might want to paint that steel plate you put in with some liquid electrical tape to give it a good water resistant coating, then put a thing plastic or rubber mat underneath it to separate it from the aluminum seat. It can rust and cause corrosion of your aluminum seat if you do not. I had steel nutserts in the seats of my Tracker V17 and they had rusted shut, so I had a very hard time removing the seat from the boat during teardown. Protecting against that as much as you can would be helpful down the road. [/QUOTE]
