Default Re: stainless bracket

pogden,
Not to throw a wrench in your welding plans but are you sure the bracket is made of stainless steel? I've seen many brackets from Stainless Marine in recent years and they are all aluminum. I haven't seen an actual stainless steel bracket since the 80's when you would see a lot of them on Scarabs and Chris Craft Stingers . Also , stainless marine makes separate platforms that bolt to transom and cover the bracket,. I don't know if the make anything with flotation to straddle the center though.

That70sboat,

You're right I was at their web site and it says
aluminum not stainless steel.
Well, I guess I have some more beer to drink to complete Fellowships idea.

Pat

HA GUYS
We could start a company and make brackets out of those beer cans. Not only will we be doing a service by recycling we could make some extra $$$ We could call the brackets “BUD BRACKETS” what do you think.

We have a 20 conversion from an I/O that has an Armstrong Bracket. It is stainless steel and foam filled. I don't think it it dates back to the 80's. Depending on which top is used it can handle up to 300 hp. As set up the rig didn't cool well with a 20 in shaft at top end.
