So the progress continues........
The bracket was installed using 8 - 1/2" SS bolts, 1 tube of 5200, and several layers of 1708 biaxial cloth (yes, I fiberglassed the bracket to the transom as well

)
Applied a bunch of 545 primer coats plus some high build where needed.
Then sprayed about $600 worth of Awlgrip in about 60 minutes.
