Ok so what I see is that you have a 25" motor/seadrive set up. I sold mine about 8 months ago that was a 20' motor/seadrive set up. so you are trying to put a 20" motor on a seadrive that is set up for 25" motor,it had the shorter 4 bolt pivot piece on it. you either have to get that 4 bolt pivot piece on the seadrive in a 20" or you have to swap out power heads off your other motor to the one you have pictured. Im still kinda confused, your verbage kind of jumps around making it confusing. hopefully we are on the right track now. where are you located?

I think I FINALLY understand.... you are absolutely wanting to get rid of the seadrive and go to a bracket but you want to convert the 20" motor to 25" with parts from the seadrive unit..... correct?

Yes you are correct sorry guys am trying to explain the best I can

manny, saw this on tht, thought you might be interested

That's a really nice build I have check my stringers and the transom and is dry only small problem I found was small rod on the circle hole witch is no problem ill fix it soon

Just a small update on what am doing I am sanding the floor so I can painted also looking on some none skit paint to apply I will be showing pics soon also fixing the wires on the center console am planing on rewriting the batteries to the front I got a new fuse box with I will rewire to pics comming soon

guys what if i just put the 20" on a hydraulic jack plate

that won't get the powerhead any further from the prop which must be in the water... will still be prone to swamping......



WHY not just KEEP the seadrive and put the powerhead on it??

There is some parts witch need to be replace in the bracket of the cea drive like the pump and the hoses one of the cilinders looks like is about to go it has a small leak lol and most important I don't like the bracket

What I was thinking is installing the 20" on a new bracket the omc bracket is to old and parts are hard to get I will like something I can get easy

have you found another engine that is 20" and are trying to use that? where are you located? 25" 4 cyl 2 strokes are not that rare.

Yes I have a guy he is giving a good deal on a Johnson 115 20" with controls trim gauges cables everything for 400
