Joe,
I mounted on the center line. I wanted to keep the boat as balanced as
possible.
No Pics yet, will try to get some this wekend.

bracket st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) } Is
yourÂ’s mounted in the center of the transom or is it mounted to one side? My
boat has the cutout and while I would like to fill in the hole I foresee
mounting the bracket on the port side (swim ladder in on the starboard). Do
you have, or can you get any pictures of your instillation?

The springs give plenty of "assist" . Before I mounted the bracket I was
really concerned as I could not budge the bracket using all my 200lbs, but
once mounted the bracket moves with just a nudge from me. I am very happy
with that aspect of the bracket. The 9,9 Merc I have mounted is about 125 lbs
and has a 25" shaft....plenty of leverage.
Like you mentioned I tried to mount the bracket in the same position as the
cutout, being mind full not to cover the drain hole in the lazarette when I put
on the backing plate. My best guess is that I am pretty close to the
original opening. Garelick mounting instructions are pretty solid.
I am sure I bought mine thru WEST Marine for under $300 last fall...check
around for prices, I used their on line sight better price than the catalog.
Even at the $395 price, I would be happy with the Garelick, solid as a rock.
I am going to the boat this weekend and will measure the distance from the top
of the transom to the top of the bracket.
