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

It COULD be done but IMHO it would be a bad choice.... If you can't afford a 25" motor right now you may be stuck with temporarily patching up the seadrive until you can source the parts to convert the 20" to a 25"...

Otherwise, you might want to just wait till you can source everything needed to hang a bracketed 25"er on there
