TOPIC: mounting bolts

mounting bolts 12 years 3 months ago #66189

mounting up my '63 1000, on which I now have a mid-eightes PTT. The bolt pattern in differrnt than the original. It think the bolts are 5/8.

The question,; Do I need to get hardened bolts, or can I use your standard home depot zinc plated bolts (will be mounting with 6 bolts)

Ah yes - good point
Just straight up stainless? Or some sort of stronger hardened bolt?

Stainless is plenty strong. Remember to seal around the bolts so water can't seep into the core of the transom.

I agree. I have a '63 850 and that is what I use on mine. I have PTT and have had no issues.
