[QUOTE="Al U Minium, post: 498680, member: 20945"] My thought would be large washer on the inside to distribute force as the inside is likely a wood filled space or something. If it was just a nut against a small washer, I would expect the bolt to work right through the inside stern leaving the motor teetering. The outboard mounting bracket is quite strong and a washer isn't going to do anything to make a stronger tie to the stern. The top bolt has a locking nut but the bottom shows the head of a cap screw. That would bother me why it is like that. I would want the lock nuts all like the top one shown in the picture. [/QUOTE]
