Hello
I'm a new owner with a 2010 Sport 185
I installed Smart Tabs (SX) last weekend.
The directions claimed NO THROUGH HULL DRILLING
But, when I drilled (with a bit depth set to the length of the included machine screws and properly countersunk) I clearly go through one layer.
I could push the bit in and out deeper than what I drilled, so I clearly have drilled through to a gap (or inside the hull)
Is there another layer?
What am I misunderstanding?
FYI- the smart tab install went smooth due to advice here on the forums.
Thanks
