transom bracket

[macojoe]

A floation bracket is one that after install has a hollow in the center, like yours.
They are good but really not a ture floation bracket cause if the bracket was to leak it would fill and then be worthless.
A ture floation would be sealed completly with some kind of plastic container and there are some around like that.

I have the same as yours and its good for me!

Sounds like you have a great set up! Welcome to the site!!
