I'm not sure where this belongs. Mod's please feel free to relocate.

Ok here is the deal I want to bolt my motor to the transom.  Which normally is pretty straight forward, the only worry I have is adding more holes to the transom.  See picture below.

Previously the transom had a Bob's Mini Jackplate then later a Riser Plate from CG.  I would not mind running the Bob's Mini, however I want to secure the engine before running this weekend.  To run a safety chain/rope would not be difficult, except there is no tie off point, at least that I am comfortable with.  If you notice the bottom of the transom does have eye bolts, with the eyes outside.  Should I just turn one/both around & re-silicon in for now?

Sorry for the rambling & thanks for your help.

I would just bolt it thru the bracket as designed. If you change it later, some epoxy and a little filler will fill those holes like they were never there. Just make sure you seal the new holes good when you put the bolts in.

Small holes, white hull...white marine-tex.
It is an epoxy with a filler, ready to use.
