I've asked this b4, but just getting around to it...
Switching from 4.5 hp merc 2 stroke, to 6 hp Tohatsu 4 stroke. Heavier motor, want to reinforce transom motor mount bracket with backing plate inside to distribute the load. Looking for something quik/eze, I see 304 SS plate 3/16 x 12 x 12 at Graingers for $67...adequate enough? (don't necessarily want to use plywood, epoxy it, etc.)
Thoughts?
