Im in the process of mounting a bracket on my boat now and I used the measurements from this site http://www.dadmarine.com/25sgl.html not going to say it's right since I havnt got mine finished yet but it's what I used.

I followed the instructions for the Stainless Marine bracket and it worked perfectly. I am sure we could rustle up those instructions online somewhere... Due to the sternheavy nature of hanging a motor off a bracket on a 20' boat, it is desireable to use a bracket that offers some floatation. MJ has a great story of taking on a big green one, swears the bracket (and the floatation that it provided) saved their bacon... Big Shrimpin makes brackets from scratch and is well versed... A company with their eyes on bracket building is Hermco. They specialize in Seacrafts fitted with floatation brackets. IMO.. the bracket is awesome. Gives me more space in the boat, better performance, and I have some measure of safety with a full transom... Cons-- Not a self-bailer, sternheavy with heavy outboard..

No problem. I bought my bolts at rural king supply but other hardware stores have them just make sure they are stainless and measure the thickness of your transom to get the length you need. My local lowes had 1/2" bolts up to 4" but I needed 5" I lucked out with rural king having them.

I can answer for Bret, a 250 EFI MERCURY. He just purchased it from me and we hung it on the boat a couple weekends ago.. Stainless Marine builds a nice bracket. IIRC the bracket offers 250 to 300 pounds of floatation when completely submerged. With any luck it won't be "submerged" most of the time...but it will offer floatation of some sort, all of the time...

That info I obtained from Stainless Marine directly: it is only relevant for the 30" setback bracket.
