If you have a transome mount you use for the front of a John boat, here is what I did to keep it secure a tight. 2X4, shaved to curve with the boat. Bolted to the boat, and recessed holes for the cups of the motor clamps. Hope this gives someone a good idea.

No, I have never had to do that with any other photos before. Did this just change? I used the "attachments and other options" thing below.

I have never used the attachment menthod, so I'm not sure. Is your photo file size within the limitations? You may have to shrink the size of the photo a little.

Yes, under 250K. Its weird that its denying them. Says something about failed security check or something? if that helps.

I use both, the attachment thing and photobucket.com I use photo bucket if I'm doing a bunch of pics or up close pics with high detail. It's super easy to use. Just create a little account for free, then upload your pics. Then once you are looking at the picture you want it should have a few ways to link the picture. It will give you that. [URL... blah blah insert. I think it's the "HTML" one

The phone app is free and works as well.

Im not technically advanced for that, lol. I don't have this problem with other pics, there has to be something that's stopping it.

The pictures help alot !  I definitely need to do this on my Jon boat   I've set aside next week for getting it ready to head up the mountain and give those two lakes I can't get to with the big boat a try.  This will work perfectly ! Thanks for a great tip !
Stop by the Garage and let me know if you have Maintenance issues that you need assistance with.

LgMouthGambler, did you also turn the motor head 180 degress so that the handle and is facing the right way on the bow instead of the transom?
