I've done it too, its a great kit and much easier way than the merc plugs!
I also put sealant around the bolt holes and engraved the Baja logo into mine before installing it. It looked pretty damn trick!

ok thanks. bought one. i still think it looks a little hackish but its better than pulling the motor and transom plate off. i cut mine today and i would not have been able to get to the top nut even with the motor out. i still would have had to pull the plate off

That cover plate kinda make me question it's reliabilty to seal.
Rather have a leaky seal than a leaky cover plate. A buddies boat has 2 leaking seal. I'm talking him into either pulling the motors or use the Merc kit. Too much of a risk for a boat that lives in the water.
