No modification to the stern for the Honda 100 on my 1975 SR Catalina 27 -
tiller helm. From day one the outboards (I do not know what predated the H100)
have been clamped in directly to the original transom cut out. I think I will
add a backing of 3/8-inch glassed marine plywood for the coming year. This
model was designed for OB from its factory origin. When fully tilted up the
motor does rub lightly against the cover of the lazerette and over time I think
it has contributed to the loose condition of the hinges. One of this spring's
chores (Lord give me time and strength to get the many things done between the
end of "winter" and the demand from our hauling and storage RC that I am up on
his schedule to launch and get the +&%...@!! out of everyone's way) is to
repair not only this, but the general poor condition of all the old girl's
cockpit hinges, not to mention soooo many other things. For the lazerette
hinges, it is a simple matter of glassing in a very sm
I absolutely adore the Honda 100. It is strong, easy to start, reliable, and
QUIET!. I do not have remote control. As a new owner, I took the boat out early
last spring and did a bit of practicing in open water on the Hudson to get
familiar with the boat when under motor as well as to practice coming up to a
mooring ball. W/O a remote, one must reach back into the well and be sure to
drop the shift control into the proper position (RNF) and to twist the throttle
in the proper direction. It pays to hone ones reactions to do this. The
throttle handle does tilt up to where it is fairly easy to reach (no extension
added), but one must reach down a good bit to the shifting lever. Except in
tricky wind/current conditions I am able to single hand onto my mooring ball in
a fairly crowded mooring area or to get onto the club dock. This is my first
keel boat. I am an experienced dinghy sailor. I do find that backing down is a
real challenge with the OB as has been observed by others

John McLaughlin has a 10hp mounted on "Loose Change". He has posted pictures
on this website. John, if you read this messgae would you please let us know if
you had to modify you transom to raise the engine out of the water,
.
Thanks, Mike

My Honda 9.9 4 stroke (about 5 years old) would fit if you used a sawsall
first. It is way too big.

OK so from what I've heard so far
There are two motors reputed to fit the existing cutout in the transom:
* The Yamaha 9.9 high thrust motor
* The Honda Classic (Suggested when I called Catalina) although I
haven't found a 4 stroke Honda with Classic in its name.
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.
