Stus-List Outboard motor bracket
Hello all, I've figured out that my outboard motor bracket is a Garlick model rated for two stroke models rated at 85 lbs. The previous owner put on a four stroke at 120 lbs so I need to replace the bracket. Has anyone done this?My transom is reinforced with an aluminum sheet and is very sturdy so that's taken care of. I was thinking if going to a Garlick model that is rated for four strokes. There are two models and I was thinking of buying the heavier duty of the two that gives 15" of travel. I was also thinking of just putting a fixed mount on the back as I only use the electric trim to tilt the motor up. Any opinions on this idea? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi mark, We put a garelick motor mount on. Makes lifting the outboard a breeze. Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to get it in the lowest position. But would definitely recommend. Installed with an aluminium backing plate . http://www.marineoutfitters.ca/mobile/?page=shop&category=10025%7C11386%7C11388&product=37208895. Make sure you take the weight of the motor into account when determining installation height of the mount.

Re: Stus-List Outboard motor bracket
Personally, I would not use a fixed mount. You want the longest shaft you can get on the engine, and the lowest practical mounting, in order to get the prop as deep as possible. That's in order to avoid the prop cavitating when the boat hobby horses in a big chop. With the motor fixed in a low position, I doubt that the power tilt and trim would get the lower end of the motor out of the water. At least it would not with the extra-long shaft 9.9 Tohatsu on my 25, Belle.
