Now, the reference between Seadrives and brackets should be considered two different animals.
OMC most likely dropped the design due to consumer problems associated with a salt environment (not cleaning the boat after use), not due to poor materials used.

so its highly recommended to stay away from this bracket? Thats fine because i can keep it on the boat its on now and get a little more money for the Regal when I sell it. Its not like im gaining any room if i made this V into a solid transom with a bracket. I will just keep it selfbailing.

It all boils down to "when" you need to fix the thing.
I have no problems using something up till that time arises then make a decision BUT I'm big on being able to replace stuff as needed and not having to worry about a mothball situation.

This bracket now is clean as pin!!! its been stored on a lift and only ran in fresh water on Lake Gaston. So right now with the shape its in would make a great canidate for a donor for my V. I just dont like the swamping action the motor get when coming off plane. and i have to come off plane very slowly. Whats the formula or measurements to mount this thing on a 74' v20cc and yes i have read up on mounting this brackett a little but have not seen anthing set in stone. Macojoe seems to be the one with most info.

I was researching the Sea Drives a couple weeks ago and found this, its a little bit of history on them.

I think im gonna vear away from the bracket. To many variables there. Im not gonna outfit a boat then have to change the set up 3 years later due to non acessible parts. Plus this 135 rude i own deserves alot better than to be half way drenched every time you back the boat off plane. This 135 is a 1976 and only has about 350 to 400 hours on it because it sat on a lift all it life!!!!!
