Thanks guys, makes me feel good about the decision to go with the Bennett's....

That plus my name is ............... Bennett.

Anyway, will pick it up from Westmarine tomorrow but won't start until I'm done fishing.

I've had the M120 for over a year and I am very satisfied with their performance. They have them at River Marine for $449.95. Keep in mind that even if you don't get them from River Marine, you can use their advertised price to get West Marine to match the price. That's what I did.

:clap:Ya know...I keep FORGETTIN' about that...:clap:

Tonight I got started on the tab installation. Backer plates, hinge, and tabs installed.

Nice night under the boat tarp set up on bungie's so I can work rain or shine.

Next is the actuator and hoses. Long winter.....plenty of time.

Something else I plan to do very soon.

Go for it ! If I can install........ most anyone else can.

i would love to add them, but i'm scared to drill so many holes in my transom.

Yup - it seems odd to drill holes into a perfectly good transom !
Now the " but " ........... if you do it right, it's a permanent job and the tab performance is worth it.

I press the sealent into the holes, then also dip the crews into sealant before screwing into position. Wipe excess and it's done.

i am not worried about sealing up the hole, it's what i'll find when i drill, the dreaded worm dirt or a steady drip drip drip...

I get it.....well..........unless your transoms a wreck........you could always send a long bolt all the way through, and then tighten with a nut on the inside !!! ( or maybe not )
Good luck...
