Hi David, Awesome work !!! Question, I am a new owner of a 1973 c-27 standard rig with an Atomic 4 inboard. I am experiencing a shut down issue and am attempting to work thru it with moyer marine. I may say forget it, and use my craigslist skills to look for a used bracket and 9.9 longshaft(enter Honda here;used is possible) What do you do regarding charging? I had a c-22 with an 8 hp honda which stated it had a charging system,however that was way under acceptable output needed for keeping the battery bank in check. Just wondering. Also wondering how you power thru the tough days with the 9.9 . Do you reach hull speed with enough umpph to get the job done. We belong to the Taunton yacht club here in Dighton Ma and have a long tricky(@ times) run up the river. Finally, looks like you are also using the original fuel tank behind the coffin bunk lol did you need to modify anything in order to have enough suction to provide the fuel for your outboard? My wife wants to get rid of our boat because the motor is not reliable(konked out last year and put us in the rocks, not a happy time...) I really want to keep her as she has so much potential and with the install of a new keel and a blisterless hull, she will for sure be around for many years to come. Thanks in advance.

Let me know what information you want and I will reply. The motor cost me $2800.00, the mount cost me $1000.00 and other expenses cost me about $750.00 for plasma cutting, fiberglass, filler, paint, etc. The anticipated outcome of being able to extract the motor from the water when not in use was realized. With this installation I will never have to replace the auxiliary. I can flush it internally and externally after each and every use.
