[QUOTE="bad1, post: 154084, member: 3470"] Hey All, I finally got these mounted and wow what a difference. The brackets are mounted just behind the center bench, as high up as possible. I couldn't find aluminum wide enought so I chose a galvanized flat plate used for electrical boxes, 1.36 each. They are larger than the bracket and stabilize the connection lot better. I also used rubber between the flagpole bracket and boat, as well as the plate and the boat. I did find better brackets online for $5.00 each, with the promo code there was no shipping charges. Took 3 days to get them once I ordered them. On another note, I will take pictures later today if I can get time. I have a 3.3 HP merc on the back, as well as a 30 lb thrust trolling motor. and these just skim the top of the water as I motor around. The only problem I have, is that the bolts that hold the stabilizer arms in, tend to get loose. I am going to drill thru the flagpole brackets and put a "clevis pin and end pin" on to keep them on. I have also been able to move around without that tipsy feeling. [/QUOTE]
