I bolted it to the transom on the edge of the origional coy-out where the fiberglass is thicker. I mounted the outboaurd bracket onto some 2" square tubing which is mounted onto the aluminum. The motor is still centred in the transom (the aluminum has enough flex to form around the angle where the port and starboard side of the transom meet). I have a 9.9 Honda extra long shaft, high thrust mounted on the boat (roughly 125lbs). I have noticed no flex and he motor, when tilted and raised fully, clears the water completely. > > > > Good luck, Mike > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Abraham > > To: [email protected] > > Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 4:59 AM > > Subject: [IC27A] Reinforcing stern for new motor bracket > > > > > > > > Hi Everyone, > > My old 2stroke died this weekend and got a new 4stoke (90 pounds weighed by me). My C27 has the original well cutout, and even though the motor "fits", I cannot tilt it up, and no way I can trim the hole to make it tilt (no space at all). > > > > So I am installing a bracket, on the port side of the stern, right next > > to the well. > > > > Now my question is, the stern in that area is hallow, any recommendation on how to reinforce the area (should I even do this?)I will be using backing plates for the bracket, but wanted to know what others have done. > > > > Thank you > > -Abraham > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > > Version: 8.5.441 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/3041 - Release Date: 07/31/10 06:34:00 > > > > > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 8.5.441 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/3041 - Release Date: 07/31/10 06:34:00 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
