[Rhodes22-list] Help with motor mount

Mon Nov 16 10:11:18 EST 2020

Nabble is a PITA 
Here are some pics. 
Westmarine mount is temporary.
The GB 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" rails are 11 7/8” apart - out to out. 
My new rails will extend past the useless rub rail. 
But -They will not extend past the top of the transom.
It will be manual.
The stops are simple 1/4” aluminum bolts at the bottom of the rails. 
More to follow
