Thanks Dave - I purchased a Garelick 71040 (25hp/118lbs.) on ebay for my "new"
'94 Evinude 9.9. I was thinking about putting it on the side - what made you
decide to glass in the hole? Are you doing the work yourself? There were some
discussions about enlarging the hole but I don't think I heard anyone talk
about closing it in. I'd be interested in hearing a little more about the
process.

Henry,
This fall I purchased the largest Garelick model for my Merc. 9,9 hp big foot
model, which weighs 125 lbs. I am currently in the process of glassing the
"plug" into the transom and re-enforcing it to support the bracket. I also had
a backing plate made from stainless at a local shop. With the Michigan winter
as it is I probably won't get the project done until mid April.
I am really impressed with the bracket, it feels strong enough and it was
really the only option through the WEST catalog. It also was the only way to
get the motor out of the water while racing and clear of the zebra mussels
while at the dock.
Not much real information here, but I hope it helps.
