Bravo 1 Inner Transom Plate
Does anyone make a inner transom plate for a bravo 1 that doesn't have the factory steering mounts. I have full hydraulic steering and since the mounts are no longer used it looks real tacky.

It maybe cheaper, but i'm sure it will look like hell. And good luck cutting them off.
The reason for having an alternative to the stock one is for athstetics anyways, so a hack job wouldn't cut it for me.
Why replace ugly with ugly.

Re: Bravo 1 Inner Transom Plate
when I say cut them off I dont mean just hack them off and leave it it doesnt take much to work with aluminum and finesse it to look good, maybe when you cut something you just hack it off but most people I know that are capible of using a hack saw or changing out a inner transom plate can make it look like the mounts where never there from the factory

Re: Bravo 1 Inner Transom Plate
Could one be fabricated out of say 1" thick billet aluminum?
Basically make it the same outside dimension as a stock unit and then have the inner area the same as well.
Any ideas?

It was less trouble to mount the factory one in the Bridgeport and mill off the unnecessary parts. Looks correct and was not that much trouble.

Re: Bravo 1 Inner Transom Plate
I agree. Making one would be a nightmare. That inner transom plate centerline has to stay in line with the centeline of the outer transom plate. up down, side to side, yikes
IMCO makes a heavy duty inner plate but it only works if you have extension boxes.
I just cut off the part that wasn't being used.
