[QUOTE="BYOB Fishing, post: 353056, member: 1756"] The wood I used was a little thicker. I didn't have any problems with the transom cap, but the cast brackets wouldn't fit and I actually broke one using the hammer to try and make it fit. I had to fabricate new ones from sheet. The biggest problem I had was actually fastening the support brackets on the inside. I cover that in one of the pages of this build. Basically I tried to match up the holes in the bracket with the holes in the hull, drilling at an angle through the new wood. I couldn't make a bolt sit flush with the hull and water tight by drilling at an angle. So I fit a new piece of wood and used lag screws instead. [/QUOTE]
