Post Gatortail mounting help
Real quick what size are the through bolts used on the mount. I took my motor off to slap on some gator glide and ill need new ones. And I misplaced the old ones since I jacked them up getting them out.

Thanks

I'm sure you know this, but the ones that came with my motor are stainless too.

i have used galvanized (cheaper) bolts for motor mounting also, just be sure to use nylon locking nuts and washers

I second the galvanized bolts, used them on my bowfishing set up and lots of saltwater time with no issue. You can replaced them 6 times for the price of SS.

Put Anti-Seize on the threads before putting the nut on or you take the chance of having to cut them off
