Hi Dave, If you look at the bottom of the
page http://www.lesleyquin.com/catalina27.html
you'll see a bracket that a friend of mine installed on his 74 C27. Doesn't
look all that bad when the motor is mounted on it. Allows him to tilt it
up and down....no problem.

Outboard question
People,
I have a 73 OB model with a new, well almost, 2
years old Merc 9,9 Bigfoot now installed in the lazarette. Problem is
there is no way to get that sucker out of the water.
Looking for some
advise on 2 solutions that I am considering.
1) Re enforcing the
"plate" that fits the laz. hole, glassing it in and installing the Garelick
bracket with 15" vertical travel and supports 165 lbs. My motor weighs
125.
or
2) Installing the bracket directly into the transom
"corner" like the Cat. 25 setup. This system obviously works for the 25,
and would obviously save some work and expense.
or
3) Your
solution that has worked for you, given the fact that there is no way I can
cut out the transom enough to tilt the Merc in the current
opening.
Thanks, as always

PS if anyone is interested in a 27 hull....lost her
rig the spring, there is one for sale by a salvage company...don't know the
particulars other than Atomic 4 and dinette interior. Motor was running
fine when she lost her rig.
See the all-new, redesigned Yahoo.com. Check it
