Outboard bracket

[Rranger]

looking at mounting my 25 hp new evinrude etec with electric tilt on my 21 ft Fiberform with a flying bridge. 25 hp weighs 188 lbs.
Has anyone out there had experience with this bracket

Or any others they would recommend.
Will this one stand up?

I have electric tilt so do I need to be able to raise the bracket up and down or will this stationary one do?
Thank you.

No experience with one, and not familiar with your hull.

Is there enough clearance for the motor to tilt where you will mount this?

 

[Rranger]

No there is not enough room. But I'm going with this plus 2 inch spacers.

These people were very helpful.

I know the clearance is why many use the adjustable mounts. Lifts the motor straight up, but being your motor has tilt........

That setback jackplate is too big for your application imo.

I'd keep looking for other options.

I have looked all over. I need at least 12 inch setback for my motor to tilt forward. I'm dealing with the top of the transom and a railing right above it hence the need for the setback. My motor weighs 188 lbs so I need something with some strength. My motor bolts on with the same bolt pattern as larger motors. I want to put it on and leave it on and have a lot of stories of lighter brackets failing. Most lighter brackets void warranty if you transport the motor on the bracket. And it's cheaper. If I am missing anything please enlighten me.

No Title

Another iboats member made this, for under $100.


Used 4 12" long pieces of aluminum angle, 1/4" thick.






Or, you could go this route.

I wish I would have seen the homemade one, what a great idea. Exactly what I needed.
