I saw that show and if I was a bracket guy that’s the way I would go (AFTER) I talked to the engineering department of the Armstrong Bracket Co. to find out about the differences in the buoyancy of the bracket being mounted 5” higher on the transom. That point was never brought up on the show and has always bothered me. If they aren’t compensating for that extra 5” higher mounting then the bracket will not be buoyant enough to compensate for the weight of the engine.
