I/O to outboard?

EBEACH · #1 10-07-2002, 06:52 PM

I’m thinking of acquiring an I/O model and converting it to a bracketed outboard. Wouldn’t that be easier than to close in an open transom? Any comments or suggestions?

Trayder- If you’re looking for some help on that project, just email (please [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ).

Specialties? None, that I can think of. Can work with any power tool or hand tool, electrical stuff is not a problem either. Kind of jack of all trades. I thought you needed a stooge for sanding? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Hello, I am new to the Forum. What exactly did you do to transform the boat from an I/O to a bracket outboard? I am interested in doing that myself.
Thanks

Ebeach, you find another boat? That guy called me last night. Sounds like he might play "lets make a deal". [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] Something weird going on there. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
