Mike: My Honda dealer ordered the bracket for me. I don't know whether you can buy direct--check out http://www.fultonperformance.com/. Delivery was about a week.

BTW, of the four sets of three holes on the bracket, I used the upper hole on each set, so the bracket sits as low as possible while the bolts are all above that little ledge indside. The easiest way to figure the placement is relative to whatever holes are already there.

I am replacing my 17 year old Honda 10 hp on my 1985 SW C25. To make a long, long story short I am trying to get an XL (extra long) shaft on a Honda 9.9, but there are apparently none in the country and Honda has no production date for the 2003 models. However, I can get a 15 hp XL shaft. Both are 4 stroke. Is 15 hp too much, or is it not a big deal to have a motor that size? I think 9.9 would be ideal, but I won't be able to get one probably until maybe August. Do any of you out there have a 15 hp motor? Thanks!

We sell flags at out marina with the letters CRS "can't remember stuff" for those senior moments.

There are two things that happen as you get older (1) you tend to forget things, and (2) I can't think of the second thing right now . . .

Mike: In our '85, there's a small ledge against the inside of the transom in the quarterberth (or aft berth) area. Below the ledge, the liner is 6-8" away from the transom; above the ledge, it's against the transom (with a foam core between them). The previous owner had mounted a bracket (not suitable for a 4-stroke) above the ledge, and I did the same. I suspect that the factory bracket is mounted there.

Dave, I found the shelf, my mount is above it on the starboard side also. Thanks for the advice.
