[QUOTE="Bigkat650, post: 238006, member: 7270"] I believe the motor mount is a side mount at the stern, not the bow. Should work fine, but I would go as small as possible, 2-2.5hp will be plenty. If you are worried about the shaft being too low in the water, you could modify your mount to raise the motor up--just make sure your water intake doesn't suck air (if using a typical water cooled outboard that is, some small outboards are air cooled.)
