Ok, I have searched the forums and I understand the importance of reinforcing the locker walls for the 1100lb bags....however i just can't seem to upload the pictures.....I am a visual guy can someone send some pictures for me of the finished product.....
thx
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.
Here is mine: Attachment 17813
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
great thanks....do you remember what size screws you went with to mount the l bracket? 1 inch?
thx
i think 1 inch. I pulled one out of the existing hinge on the floor and used the sameQuote:
