Default Re: Bracket set-back question

Quote:
There should be some specs/diagrams that show how much clearance you need for that motor.
Would Armstrong have this? I called them the other day about it and while they were more than willing to make a custom bracket, they did not know how far back it to tell me.

A 25 inch set back should leave enough room to tilt up a Suzuki 140 4 stroke.
Just eyeballing, it seems as if the Suzuki 140 is about the same height from the holes as the Merc 175 Opti. Strick, how much room do you have between the top of your 130 and the transom? And is there anything else I need to take into consideration when sizing the bracket? Rigging? I imagine the main concern is whether the engine tilts all the way up or not.
