You can make your own with some heavy paper, just tape in place push where the mounting holes are with some chalk on your finger cut edges to shape and its done. Put it in place 3/4" above the runing surface, mark your hole locations. Then you need to drill the holes at 90 in all directions on the transom. To do that, use a 6" x 6" sq flat pc of 3/4" ply screw a blk iron floor flange to it, tread in a 6" long 3/8" gas pipe at 90 to the block. Use a 24" long 3/8" drill, hold the block flat against the transom, and you have a hole guide at 90 in all directions with no drill press. If yor centers are on the money the studs on the K-plane slide right through the transom thickness for back washers and nuts. Worked for me!

Magnum27 has had to learn the hard way when it comes to doing work on his magnum. I have seen the pics of the boat and so far he has done a wonderful job on it. I rig boats for a living and even I would'nt attempt to do some of the work hes done. When he does complete the magnum it will be one of the finest magnums around. Congrat to Magnum27
