Default 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,

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.
