Default Re: I.O engine mount help

I dropped a 350MAG MPI FWC/ Bravo I in a sailfish (really sportcraft) back in March....

Installation diagrams with measurements are on the Mercury web site....there's also some on the installation CD. The sportcraft had pretty high stringers with aluminum angle plates through bolted on the insides. I think if you stick with the raised areas you will have somewhat better access under the engine. Not that you need to get there much, but sometimes you do....that's my $.02

It might seem like a lot of work, it is more expensive than plywood but it will never rot. I am in the process of redoing the transom the one and only time on my 19'bowrider with a composite material. Check with your buddy that sells fiberglass he may have a comparable material to seacast.










If you go to transomrepair.com they have a good tutorial on removing rotten wood from the top with a chainsaw.


and a link to the rest of the pictures on the transom project:
