I have an OB mtr ,which runs ;) like a top,5 hp Tohasta 4 stroke long shaft. I would like to add a shock absober support to protect mrt from long rough haul to B/Lake boat ramp.Maybe :doh:use the aft mast cradel support?

Any of you guys have an idea..?
thanks in advance.

I am also replacing the split board that the OB mtr is mounted on.There are four bolts that run trough transom.I can see the bolts ends that are located under cockpit aft.The nuts must be incased in the transom fiberglass as I cant see them.
The board measures 2"x17.5"x6".My son in law is plaining me a 2" green board as we speak.He used two board to get the 2" thickness I wanted as that is the exact thickness of the board being replaced.
Is there any :redface:thing little trips or ideas I need to know?

Is there anyone who may know someone, or are wanting to sell, an old aluminum OB mtr mount that swing up and down..? My e mail below.

Mark, I tow with my motor in place.

I tilt it about 45 degrees and hold it against the tilt stops with a rubber bungee. Myrtle Beach and back from Springfield, Mo. and Cincinnati to Springfield.....no worries. I have same motor and my mount is origonal heavy teak block.
