Any pointers on where to find the nylon washers? I will check with my local fastener company.
As for running the rigging through the bracket, I am a little old school about holes in the boat relative to the waterline. I will probably run it through one big snake out the transom to the motor. We very rarely dive off this boat, so in my case it is not a big deal. I think it does look really slick. Maybe if I ran them through a pipe that had an exit above the waterline, I could live with that.
I will have to give it a ponder, thanks for the suggestions.
Here are some pictures of the bracket fresh from the powder coater. Notice it is the same color as the hull
