I have a 70hp Evinrufe and it seeems the holles will not line up to the exhisting holes. Has anyone used the tapped holes on the engine brackett??? Anyone got pics of the install????

Look under the personal pages by length. Scroll down to the 15' models. http://www.whalercentral.com/viewpage...page_id=65

I'm painting the engine bracket now but should know more in a few days when we line things up. Joe, did you ever get the photos you were requesting in the other thread??? I could snap a bunch now if you need them. Edited by TechTeach on 07/05/09 - 5:08 AM

I have mounted with two bolts in the top for a slow test drive. I purchased a Jack plate that I mounted today so I do not have to use lag bolts(not that there is anything wrong with that). I had to do this with my Montauk as well.BG
