[QUOTE="Thundra, post: 274615, member: 8926"] Thanks gumbo860, that makes sense to me now. I didn't realize that the wood in my c-channel that is now held tightly in place like a girdle on a woman's midsection, along with 10 bolts and 4 screws, won't get the chance to expand and contract like they would if left outside on their own. I even pounded out the round- indents made by the 2 different motor clamps as there was nothing at all to stop the channel/Aluminum from being dented by the round clamp pads. Now with the wood, it should help for a little while anyway. The transom channel, now that I have replaced the stern corner braces with S/S nuts and bolts and put new galvanized hardware to hold everything in place, will be easy to take off when I need to do the job again.
