Problem is Pete, the transom flexes in the middle right below where the engine is mounted. When power is applied to the engine, the aluminum flexes in. The top and bottom don't move.
Might move bottom channel to flex point. On a toon, the transom tubs are VERY flimsy. I placed mine at the bottom as that is where the ob mount hit. Just a thought. Good luck
I was looking into buying a piece of alum plate 1/2"x 13"x 15" and have it tig welded to the transom. That should give it plenty of strength. I'm not sure whether I should have it welded or just bolt it to the transom. Any welders out there?
