We have the new boat on order. I would like to install a 3.5 hp Mercury 4-stroke on the starboard side. I guess i could mount a fixed Garelick bracket, but I'd rather mount it directly on the transom if possible.
I realize I will have to install a board on the outside to shim up above the rub rail. Is there enough lip on the top to accept the bracket clamps?
If I have to install a bracket, how long do the bolts have to be? (the transom looks pretty thick, viewing from the access hole)
Anyone have pics of a similar setup?
TIA
