[QUOTE="Rat, post: 139309, member: 1914"] You can also just use a ratchet strap on the motor to keep it from bouncing around. I steer mine all the way to one side, hten run the strap across the lower unit and tighten it just enough to take up the slack in the rubber mounts. This has worked for me for years. But you definitely need something, a good chug hole will liberate the motor and over time it will cause stress fractures in the transom if you don't brace it. When you rebuild the bunks you need to have the transom sitting on the end of the bunks. If you leave it like it is now it will cause a hook in your hull and that will cause performance problems. Looks like a great build, I need to get caught up! [/QUOTE]
