brackets

regarding mounting an engine bracket on a full transom model, how much reinforcement on the inside of the transom needs to be completed in order to mount the bracket safely and securely?
thanks,

Re: brackets

Not sure exactly "how much" is necessary but I can show you what I did to my 23. I first added a piece of 3/4 inch marine ply to the existing transom and then added some knees for bracing. All work was epoxy/cabosiled in place prior to glassing over. This has worked for me in the past.
