Re: First Splash
Hey Mac, I weigh 230, and I think the motor weight is an issue, being a 4 cyl. If I had my old Merc 150 on it , it would sit 2 inches lower in the water. Put it this way, if I get water in the cockpit it does not run to the back unless I'm moving. The smaller motor and the floatation of the bracket are the reasons that the normal formula for installing the bracket are issues. Plus it was installed well but measured wrong, it is at least 4" above keel line if not a little more, that is too much. This winter I think I will drop it down to the last hole and gain about 3/4" more drop. I that does not work I will have to redrill the mounting holes
