[QUOTE="eeshaw, post: 481149, member: 25150"] I guess I'm the odd guy out. I have one of these type mounts that I made to put on my boat to mount a kicker motor. Something to keep in mind when using these is that the farther they move the motor away from the transom the more weight you're effectively putting on the transom. It will cause the boat to squat more in the water. If you only have a 15 inch transom to begin with it's something to keep in mind. Another thing is it causes your tiller to effectively become shorter the further it moves away from the transom also. [/QUOTE]
