Is anyone having problems with their Honda 9.9 engine handle getting in the way of the motor mount lifting handle when you lift or tilt the engine?

I have mine on the Starboard side as well and I plan on using a 4 spring lift from Catalina Direct. I noticed that the tiller for the Honda is connected to the front of the engine not the side so I wondered if tht was an issue when tilting the motor.

Do you use the 4 Spring mount from CD or something else?

How fast do you go with a Honda 9.9 on you boat?

Starboard side: lift, no; tilt, yes. The handle is in line with one of the stanchions: swivel the engine a little when you tilt it and it makes all the difference. I have the 4 spring Catalina Direct mount.

I can motor at hull speed at about half throttle.
