outboard bracket conversion

[2ndchance]

Hey Overboard,
Welcome to the site. I see you are interested in a bracket conversion for your outboard V. You didn't say what motor you are going with, I am currently running a 115 2 stroke on an 18" setback bracket on mine which I find to be plenty of motor for what I do. If you are planning to go with a larger motor I would consider a bracket with a longer set back. I also moved my fuel tank foward about 20" to offset moving the motor back since I had to pull the tank any way.

I'm pretty sure that I am going with a 150hp motor. I had a 115hp 1990 Evinrude on it before. It did o.k. but I am in the ocean alot and would appreciate a little more HP. I was figuring on going with a 24" setback and a wide floatation bracket. What do you think?

ETECH????? Be sure to go with a 25" shaft. That will be sweet. That'll be enough to make me jealous. Also, watch out for Hammer, he will covet your bracket.

Bracket is the way to go!! I would post mine but is a I/O conversion, not a transom redo

Personally, I like the idea of bracket-jack plate.
Ain't seen that,.....yet!
