hi again everyone. i have decided to go with smart tabs on my boat. does anyone know of a good way to mount things on the back of the boat if you cant get to the other side to put a nut. i had the same problem mounting a swim lader. i used 1/4 inch ss toggle bolts. but that required a bigger hole. the transom wood doesnt go down to the bottom of my boat so i cant use screws. its heavy guage aluminum down there.

any ideas?

Large aluminum pop rivits from your local hardware, use sealant.
