[QUOTE="richg99, post: 259813, member: 4376"] Just a few thoughts.... I agree with the poster who felt two joiners were problematic. I'd think one very large... L.... bracket could be drilled to accommodate both horizontal and vertical plates. Fewer pieces, fewer joints, less chance of problems in the future. I lost a trolling motor once because I didn't think of all of the dumb/wrong things that I could do with it on the boat. I prefer wood over metal for the plate because the screw type clamps can dig into the wood. If I used metal, I'd probably drill it and put a "keeper screw" into each side. Looking good, keep us posted on your progress. rich [/QUOTE]
