Tom, after looking at the article I should be able to hit into the splashwell with the lower mounting holes. I have never had to worry about this as my 1st whaler was a 13' and every boat since was always mounted utilizing standard mounting and had a standard transom. I bought this boat 2 1/2 years ago and re-rigged all the wiring and have just been running it. Now that I decided to re-work her completely I figured I would try and get everything a right as I can. I have restored or reworked every boat I have owned this one I just have to find my way around a few things. It should come out nicely. You guys are a great resource keep it coming. Thanks, Wayne

I have a 83 Montauk with a 2001 Honda 90 on it..
a friend of mine who have the same (1983 montauk 17) wants to change his 50 TLDi NISSAN. Your 2001 Honda 90 is near 350lbs, is it not too heavy for the transom ? i believe the max is about 250 lbs ?
i found something there :

Thanks for any replies
