[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 498679, member: 7021"] I noticed on my new 2023 Tracker Pro Guide V16SC that the OB mounting bolts do not use washers on the outside Transom Bracket side. The inside (inside transom) uses a transom support plate at top with washers and large washers on bottom bolts. I looked at outside transom bracket mounting bolts on: 1. A newer (2018+) 1650 Lund Rebel with a Merc 60hp and it also did not have washers on outside Transom bracket side 2. My same Tracker at Bass Pro and one at the Tracker Service Center....they also did not have washers on outside Transom bracket side. I also looked up Mercury Parts Catalog and it only showed washers on inside....none are shown for transom bracket side. It seems weird to me....as I always used washers on all my outboards on the outside transom bracket. The lack of washer seems wrong to me , but I'm no mechanical engineer! Anyone have similar experience on newer outboards of similar HP? Thanks [/QUOTE]
