I have a 1991 Sea Ray 170 I/O with a molded in swim step.
I want install a trolling motor bracket for a 5 - 10 horse outboard. I'm not sure how the swim platform is constructed. Is there wood underneath the fiberglass?
I was thinking of drilling holes into the top of the platform and installing 6 or so stainless threaded inserts with epoxy. I would then use bolts in the inserts to install the L shaped bracket onto the step.
The other option is to drill all the way through the plaform and use stainless bolts.
Are there any Sea Ray experts out there?
