I agree, I think a couple in. All around bigger than the mount Would be enough, but that is all up to you. Good luck.

Hi guys, What I planed on doing with the plates is on the outside, is making it 45"x20" that is about 4" less than the width of the boat and the one in the splash well would be as wide as the splash and as deep, about 4". I planed on epoxying them also. Hoss

Make sure you use a good caulk and bed all through bolt/screw fittings.

If your transom is still good, I would think something like this would be "good enough".
