Cape Dory Typhoon Engine Mount

[Jwhy]

Does anyone have outboard engine mount for a Typhoon in reasonable condition?

Is this what you are looking for?

If so... I'd replace with stainless instead of aluminum... an online search of stainless angle iron came back with dozens of hits.... for example

No. The Typhoon uses a deck mounted fitting that a bracket drops into so it can rotate down toward the water. The bracket also has a wooden block on the end for motor clamps .

Thanks anyway

@Jwhy Do you have any pictures? I am not clear what you are seeking. I had a 15ft Montgomery. It came with a fixed mount protruding off the stern. I replaced the mount with a Garlick mount. it looked something like this.

This one is available at West Marine.
There are others, similar, for small sailboats.

The picture I posted was from a Typhoon but... maybe a different model. I also found this pic.

I did a little digging. Looks like Stuart Marine aquired the rights to sell Typhoon parts when the company closed. Their page has a "request parts" link. If it is still available (or something similar) they would know.

The mount for the Typhoon is made at Spartan Marine. It is bronze and it is a great piece of equipment. Not cheap, but they have them.

Thanks, that’s where I’m headed.
