Aluminum Engine Mount Brackets

Are aluminum angle brackets used for engine mount bases? Will they fatigue and crack? I'd like to use aluminum because it can be cut and worked on site with standard power tools and saws.

Re: Aluminum Engine Mount Brackets

Aluminum boats have engines.

Pick a heavy enough gauge and limit any movement and you’ll be fine.
