yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. When you first talked about it I didn't realize your motor plates were connected to the water bolts also.
Oh, and all that polishing you're doing, most miserable job on the planet. I hate doing that shit. Looking good though.

The first time I met Greg he was sitting in the back of his truck with a smug little smile. I was walking by and he says; "Hey, you gonna run that trailer queen?" I responded with my usual; "of course not". lol
About 20 minutes later he was out on the water doing what he loved most. I didn't know him well, but I knew several of his friends and everybody seemed to love him.

Yep, I am getting my butt kicked right now. I think this will be the last time I do it myself. I paid to have my Southwind parts polished and I found out the hard way that it's worth every penny to have it professionally done. I cleaned the parts with steel wool, sanded with 220, 500 & 1,000 grit sandpaper, then I used a grinder and drill polisher with medium and fine polish. I am trying to get mirror polish out of it.
