Does anyone know if and where I could find “Boston Whaler” Transom motor bolt support plate, the long aluminum plate that goes through the top two bolts to support the motor. I am talking about one like Reference: 41-8 on [url]http://continuouswave.com/whaler/cetacea/cetaceaPage41.html[\url]
Thanks Archie

If you are referring to the transom plate with the engraved legend "Boston Whaler" as seen in image http://continuouswave.com/whaler/cetacea/cetaceaPage41.html#41-8 I am fairly certain that this was a stock transom support plate which had some custom engraving done.

I have the exact same one also. Purchased through CMC(Cook Manufacturing Corp.) Ph(580)-252-1699. www.cook-mfg.com . Like JimH responded they are plain stock for $23 and to add personalization was $25 for a total of $48. Nice product that is not only functional but dresses up the transom nicely I think.

These are offered with engraving but I have seen some that are cast with company logos and names. My local dealer, Jacobsen's Boats and Motors here in Seattle, used to (maybe still does) always install one of these plates with each new motor they sold.
They had them made with their stylized Jacobsen's name cast into the plates, not just engraved. They looked really sharp. I had them on both my Montauks.
Originally, Jake's would spray paint the plates with flat black spray paint and then belt sand the surface of the border and letters down to bare aluminum. This provided a sharp contrast. The problem was that in salt water they started to look lousy in pretty short order. Left as plain aluminum, they oxidize uniformly and hold up quite well.
