I did not. Just did not want to get into that . I don't plan on a bracket or big 4 stroke engine . Plan to put batteries under console and with the weight taken of with the nida core I should be ok . I can always put plugs in the deck drains and I've given some thought to maybe moving console up a few inches.

One thing I forgot to mention if you raise the transom measure the placement of the the bolts that attach the engine to the transom and your splashwell. I was told to raise transom to 26 1/2 Or to reposition the splashwell.
