Mike,

I think Garhauer Marine made a mount like that, but I do not see it on the web 
site now. www.garhauermarine.com

I understand that the Rhodes 22 has a sliding mount, although it may be a 
little bigger than what you want.  www.rhodes22.com or www.rhodes22.org for the 
owner’s site.

I have a Garelick aluminum mount.  I choose the one with the max adjustment 
range.  As the mounting pad was too thick for my 2hp Honda, I used a 2x8.  My 
pad is a little taller than the factory mount, in case I needed to trim it down 
a bit.  When I have the mount in the top position, the mounting pad is just an 
inch or two aft of the transom.  The swing arms are almost vertical.  If I tilt 
the Honda up, the top end of the motor is inside the cockpit.  It hangs several 
inches over the transom,.  It is very easy to access if I had to work on it.  
(Never have.)  I normally sail with it a notch or two down, so as to prevent 
interference with the traveler bridal.  It is not far from the transom.

I really like the adjustable range of the mount, and can drop it to the lowest 
position if I need to go to the bow and keep the prop in the water.  However I 
think Jerry had the best idea.  Just use the old fixed mount and a piece of 
wood as a spacer to move the OB back a little.  I wish he had posted it before 
I installed the adjustable mount.
