I am repowering twin crucaders. The lag bolts that are used to secure the
motomounts to the engine beds should I use stainless or galvanized? I heard
the stainless are to hard and will snap due to vibration?

I have the original Crucaders manual and state that either type of bolt may
be used.

I am open to suggestions.

Thanks,
Bill

Bill, before you snap good stainless you will probably strip out the
wood in your engine beds. I've never had a problem with stainless,
I've had them on several boats.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
