I did mine like daze, attached to the door, but instead of doing 4 vertical brackets , I did two "vee" shaped to cover the door with less aluminum.

I am not very mechanically inclined and it freaks me out drilling holes anywhere near the bottom of the boat...so when i put the bottom bracket on i use 1 inch screws and I will have no problem? do i need to put the bottom bracket o or can i just reinforce wall?
thx for pics its greatly appreciated!

I ended up removing that hinge in the middle and using a L bracket on the motor side so it doesnt push in.

Its hard enough to work in the motor well so i elected to mount something on the doors and not the aluminum motor frame

Based on E4NASH's similar comment on a previous thread, I chose to try my 1100 bag without reinforcement. I also have not yet seen a need for the reinforcement. However, I did remove the hydraulic lift and bracket on the 1100 side (I have 650 in other side) and I fill that sucker up all the way, the lid is lifted up a couple inches when I'm done filling sometimes lol!

If you haven't lengthened your fill hose yet (if you have to on a 2011, mine's a 2006), I used stuff from Lowe's to extend my fill hose on both sides; it was $11 for materials and took about 5 minutes to do.
