I am wondering if anyone has any advice on how to resolve the issue I am having. I have a Mercury 9.9HP mounted on the H260 mount. and noticed a hairline crack that has grown on my past 3 day trip. At one point the tilt ratchet on the outboard was not clicked in properly and once I started sailing it slipped/ dropped causing a shock and no doubt expediting the cracking. I made a temporary fix using a ratchet strap.
Once I pull her out the water (and make any repairs) I will fabricate a stainless steel bracket with a rubber shoe to prevent a reoccurrence and relieve some of that stress. Anyone any insight into the threaded insert strength and if this will require major excavation and reinstallation of the treaded inserts?
