I just got a Garelick stainless ezin bracket model 71056.
I have an 18 horse longshaft Evenrude.
I clamped the motor to the bracket and with blocking set it against the transom. With the cavitation plate even with the bottom of the hull at that point the pull start is about even with top off transom and the front of the motor is very close to the transom. It looks like I'll need a 3 or 4 inch stand off.
I searched iboats parts, West Marine and Garelicks website and found nothing.
Any ideas where else to check?
I might be able to get a millwright at work to build one but that would be a huge favor owed.
thanks for any ideas. Mike

Re: kicker bracket

Well have you gone out and tried it yet? You may learn it can run much higher because your not going to get on plane so the transom will be sitting deep.

No I haven't even drilled any holes yet. I emailed Garelick to see if I can get mounting instructions.
