My Honda 9.9 4 stroke (about 5 years old) would fit if you used a sawsall first. It is way too big. Joe McCary Aeolus II Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

I've yet to hear directly from anyone that can personally confirm either of these motors. Most have used a mounting bracket and all of these installations used remote controls. --- In [email protected], "mujin2000" <mujin2...@...> wrote: > > The old Yamaha 2str barely fit through the opening in the transom to > tilt up.
