[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 67396, member: 55"] That first one that ben2go mentioned is about garbage. From the reviews I had read on it, sounds as if it is suited for a 30 pound thrust electric, not a 15 horse outboard. The third one, from what I have seen, looks good, but keep this in mind. You will need enough setback to allow the motor to tilt up properly. I am making a kicker mount for a 4 horse 15 inch shaft on my 20 inch shaft boat. Even though I am spacing it only 5 inches down, I have to set it back a minimum of 10 inches to allow the motor to tilt even to the point that the skeg is just barely above the bottom of the hull, where it would be out of the water on plane, and still in the water at rest.
