[QUOTE="lckstckn2smknbrls, post: 416557, member: 850"] I had 18 holes in my transom that had to go through the outer skin and the 3 knee braces and 2 side brackets on the inside. I put the transom in place then marked both the inner and outer locations. The bolts I'm using are 1/4". Then on the drill press I drilled half way through with a 5/16 bit. Then flipped the transom and drilled through with a 1/4" bit. Then I opened the hole to 5/16". My thought was the 1/4" bit would find the 5/16" hole and follow it. Of the 18 holes only 2 were not perfectly lined up and I open up the hole to 21/64" to get the bolts through. [/QUOTE]
