well I disagree with the professional here with a few conditions... the strength of the glass where it is being mounted is important to consider.... IMHO, IF the two strips to prevent fastener pull-out aren't sufficient then it's a VERY fine line between a bigger plate and the need to build more structure into the boat....
if bolting through 2" wood transom washers are enough.... 1/2" glass.. same.... 5/16" glass... strips... 1/8" glass..... much more structure needed...
Of course shape affects strength too..... this is all just my 0.02 so use it for what it's worth...
you are welcome and good luck w ur project.
