While my 15' Sport is in for Linex I would like to hear opinions on mounting a 60 hp Merc. I am using a CMC 5" setback jack plate & a stainless backing plate on the inside of the transom. Which would be better, to hard mount it to the transom or should I put a 1/16" rubber gasket between the plates & the transom?(with Sikaflex on the bolts of course) What would be the torque of the bolts?

To must directly bolt the bracket to the transom. You do not want any flex.

Thanks Tom, much appreciated. I have looked in my engine owners manual & in the 15" owners manual but was unable to loacte the engine mounting bolt torque. Would anybody know what they are or where I can referance them?
