I know not what your current mount is, however my old mount is available if you plan to keep your motor in the water while sailing. It will handle a 9.9 hp. four stroke motor as that is what I previously had. In a message dated 11/6/2009 9:40:09 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Thanks for the info! We have a 82 Mercury 9.8 2 stroke. We are looking to upgrade and possible get the same set up you have but money is the issue.....Any idea if the current transom for the outboard can handle a new motor 20 pounds heavier? Or do I have to get a new mounting? --- On Fri, 11/6/09, [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > wrote: From: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > Subject: Re: [IC27A] New motor To: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) Date: Friday, November 6, 2009, 9:19 PM I replaced my outboard this year. I had a Yamaha 9.9 hp. four stroke outboard (1999 model year) that did me well, but because it had to sit in salt water its entire life, it was eaten away to the point that I did not trust it to operate flawlessly in an emergency, so I upgraded. I purchased a new Yamaha 9.9 hp. four stroke outboard with trim & tilt. To mount it I had to install a new motor mount. Now, I can raise my motor completely out of the water when it is not in operation. It is a beautiful propulsion system and I am absolutely delighted with the upgrade. If you are interested in further details feel free to contact me for additional information. David Hoyt Sovereignty Catalina 27 #65 In a message dated 11/6/2009 8:38:21 P.M.

And if so could you use the current mounting or did you have to get a new bracket? Thanks!
