Hello everybody.
After refitting a new 150 Fourstroke engine on my 2011 Montauk 190 I’m considering to install as 2nd engine a Mercury 9.9 mainly for fishing purposes.
Since the dealers, at least the one I know, do not like to spend too much time in finding solutions other than selling new engines, I am tring to find an elegant solution on how to install the new engine.
On the left part of the boat there is the standard platform with ladder, so the the new engine will be placed at the right side.
But...how? The engine should tilt easily when not in use (the “leg” has to be long rather than “short”) and not intrusive when cruising with the main engine.
Has anyone faced this (little) problem?
Thanks a lot.
