Default Custom Trolling Motor Plug Mounting Plate

What do you think?

http://www.yumabassman.com/bulletinb...p=16023#p16023

I measured it and cut it on the mill. The mounting screw holes are not any
particular specific measurements as near as I can tell so I figured I would
just use the spray can method to mark those and punch them out on the drill
press. It will be a lot easier than trying to measure them, and program them
into my mill run. Then when its all done I'll round the corners on the
grinder, and finish them with a file. Could have done that on the mill too,
but its slow work that way.

Hey Bob.......
That looks good. Is the material stainless or aluminium?

Its 5052 aluminum. Stainless would certain look better, but I have a bunch
of aluminum scraps laying around from some repair/rebuild work I am doing on
a wrecked aluminum boat I bought last year.
