Built from durable cast aluminum and CNC-finished, they distribute the stress from modern heavier 4-stroke outboards across a wider surface, reducing point-loads on the hull and extending the useful life of the transom when installed correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these plates reduce transom damage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy increasing the bearing area behind each bolt pattern, the TSP-1 and TSP-2DP lower the pressure exerted at the bolt holes. That reduces localized compression and flexing in the wood or composite transom core, helping to prevent cracks, crushed fiber, and water intrusion around fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBroad 15\" and 12\" lengths spread forces across multiple hull ribs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8\" thickness resists bending under engine torque and vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits universal bolt patterns for major outboard brands for correct alignment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCNC machining ensures flatness and proper hole spacing for snug installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes and fitments are included in the kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit contains two support plates sized for the standard top and lower bolt holes of most outboards: TSP-1 measures 15\" x 2\" and TSP-2DP measures 12\" x 2\" with a 10\" hole spacing for the lower plate. These dimensions match common universal mounting patterns so installation is straightforward on compatible motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTSP-1: 15\" long, 2\" wide, 3\/8\" thick for top bolt holes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTSP-2DP: 12\" long, 2\" wide, 3\/8\" thick with 10\" hole spacing for lower bolts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackage includes one TSP-1 and one TSP-2DP plate ready to install.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to match Mercury, Evinrude, Johnson, Yamaha universal patterns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat material and finish protect the plates from marine conditions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCamoo manufactures both plates from high-quality cast aluminum chosen for its corrosion resistance and strength-to-weight ratio.
