Is this the stock motor mount for an 89? I want/need to buy another board from CD and want to make sure it's the correct one that will fit the stock mount.

Thanks.

Looks to me like you could make one out of a 2x12 of treated lumber, or better on of the plastic deck "lumber" that you'll never have to replace again. Either one would probably be significantly cheaper than CD.

It would be cheaper, but would require work and time. Sanding, coating, painting. The plastic one from CD is $39.99, which is well worth it to me. I'm just not sure if it fits the mount I have. I don't know what a factory one looks like.

I agree with Sirus. Treated 2 x 12. Simple. I would not paint it at all. Treated lumber lasts a L O N G time even without any finish. Depending on the minimum length of 2 x 12 you would need to buy, assuming you don't have anything lying around, we are talking about $5 - $10.

I replaced mine last year with 2x12 marine plywood that I treated.
Have been using it for the last three years with my old Evinrude 9.9.
Works like a charm, and the mount works. Yours is the same mount as mine,standard on the Catalina 25 for 1987 anyway.

That looks like the same mount I have on my '89. I'm #5862 so your boat was built not long after mine.

If you were close enough, I'd give you a chunk of it, I've got a bunch laying around from another project.

Thanks for the verification guys. I went ahead and bought the white plastic one from CD. I had to buy some sheaves and covers from there anyways, so I got it all together.
