catalina27-talk: dinghy motor bracket

[Jeffery L. Sheler]

Greetings listers. I recently acquired a dinghy and a 3.5 outboard mainly 
for tooling around the marina but also as a tender on weekend cruises. I 
hesitate to tow the dinghy with motor attached and so would like to mount 
it during passage on the C27's stern pulpit. The brackets for that purpose 
that I have seen at WM and elsewhere for about $25 seem suitable but need 
to be installed at a T-joint on the rail. That is not a convenient location 
on my boat because of the location of the aft running light to port and my 
Magma grill to starboard right at the only two vertical braces. I'm 
wondering if anyone has seen an auxiliary motor bracket for the stern rail 
that does not need to be attached at a T-joint. The WM catalog has what 
appears to be one, but I think it is for heavier motors -- and it costs 
over $200! Has anyone seen such a thing at a more reasonable price?
