40 mm thick timber is between the alloy transom and the Yamaha mount bracket which rests on a 65 mm wide x 300 mm long alloy surface centered in the transom's top, when the top two mount bolts are through the top two mount holes.
If I raise the Yamaha with the top two bolts in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th set of mount holes, the gap between the mount bracket and the 65 x 300 alloy surface obviously stresses the bolts.
Would a simple timber wedge hold the ~91 kg load and remove the stress from the bolts?
(for example, with the top two bolts through the 4th set of mount holes, the air gap looks like 60 mm at the front and 55 mm at the back, of the 65 mm wide alloy transom surface.
Thanks for your advice.
