i have a 20 degree b60 mounted on the ports side that pretty much mirrors the location of the raw water pickup on the starboard side. It works great in that location and I have no problem holding bottom while running at cruise speed. Mounting in that location makes it at least theoretically replaceable without pulling the motor but it would be a real bitch of a job to replace.
There really isn't a lot of other places to put it on the inboards... I considered mounting it forward of the raw water pickup but I was too worried that it would interfere with the water flow to the intake.
I know that the b60's lacks a lot of performance compared to what else is out there today but there just is not a lot of available space on the inboards.
