Thanks for the pics, Garrett.

Are the brackets just secured to the frame of the step in the engine compartment?

Did you use stainless or aluminum brackets?

Hi Chris,

Duh, I should have photographed that too. One of the pics shows a ~1.5" (or 2"?) x 3/4" aluminum bar that the strainer mounts on and goes to the frame step and on past it probably another 8 to 12 inches. Then there is a 1/4" x 2" aluminum flat piece that goes up from the bar to the angle that is part of the step mount where the wood screws down. The 1/4 x 2 also goes down to the stringer.

I'll take another pic of the mount system, but I can't get back in the boat for about 2 weeks. :(
