[QUOTE="akbejeepin, post: 376016, member: 16111"] I am about to mount a Tohatsu 18 4stroke on the back of my newer topper 15. That tohatsu is fairly heavy and made me nervous watching it bounce around on my last boat. Should I mount an additional piece of plywood to the outside of the transom to strengthen it up or is the factory design strong enough to last? I believe i am going to leave the motor in the down position and cut a piece of wood to brace the bottom of the motor when trailering. They should stop a lot of the bouncing off the motor. Thoughts?
