[QUOTE="fishshtick, post: 140135, member: 1992"] Not if you're going to motoring with much speed in choppy water. The bouncing of either the motor head or lower unit (depending if you slide the motor up in the mount when onboard) can break an aluminum mounting bracket due to the leverage along the motor shaft. You should get a ram mount or make a wood support with strap to support the end of the motor that is not secured in the motor bracket while motoring. [/QUOTE]
