I had the same type on my boat, was a Stainless Marine and they weigh in at about 130 pounds. I thought it was the best upgrade I ever did to that boat!The only thing was with the bracket it steered a bit wide and more to one side then the other.
Looks sweat!

thanks

i was taking measurements of the boat transom and is had to get the real center line this due to the shape i also check 2 other boats same year same model and it gave me the same according to what i saw the mold of the hall is not the same on the left side its 1/4 longer


i think this bracket weight almost the same as the original the only difference is this one measure 24 and the original is 20 i think the omc bracket with everything on it including the motor weights more

some fitting before installation just to confirm the angle and center of it lol i like the look

more pics tomorrow

Looks like both of your boats drained into the bilge. Mine had scuppers at the transom and drains on the back sides. Water would always come through, especially with a couple if people were standing in one corner.

Mine was a 1975 V20, His is a 18 CC, You are right mine drained to the bilge. But I think his doesn't, you can see in his earlier pic's the floor drains.

Am sorry but I don't understand what drain

The only drains I see are o. The floor and the go to the sides of the boat not to the bilge

Yeah, I see the drain hiding behind the guide post of the trailer now.

I would plug my drains when I did not want water coming in, otherwise my feet would be wet. While landing a large fish, if two or three people were in the back corner we would be ankle deep in water.

i have being thinking to replace those things i see the ball loos like is old and bad , is it better if i just plug them off and make a drain to the bilge
