Default Re: How Much Weight is Too Much? *Got New to Me En
Most any bracket will hold 300 hp!! So no matter what you got the bracket will hold it!

Just have to make sure the transom was built to with stand the weight!!

My motor is 390, so you are talking just 65 pounds more, I stand on mine to fish and stuff with no problems.

But I am nerves with that weight hanging off the rear while trailing, all that weight bouncing!

Most go just fine and never have a problem, But I made up a Transom saver that CB says will take out a 4 lane hwy if it were ever to fall off! :o

But I rather be safe then have the transom crack later! And seeing that I did the transom myself I am not all that confident
