Motor mount

[Hawk4661]

I want to purchase a swing type motor mount for my Johnson 9.9--- 2 cycle. Can anyone give me location to find one or perhaps a kit to extend shaft on this motor.
I need a little more power for sailing rivers.
Thank you guys.

Try plugging your motor type into the box on the Garelick site:

Discouragement on motor mount

Mark, I was thinking about the same idea a few seasons back. I too wanted more bite into the water with my regular length shaft outboard. However, I was discouraged from the idea for a couple of reasons.

First was practical: some posters suggested concerns about whether or not the existing mounting points would handle the additional weight of the bracket & outboard, plus the additional torque/leverage of the outboard being held further away from the mounting point.

The second was purely aesthetic: our 23.5s have such a pretty, elegant sugar-scoop transom. A bracket would clutter it up and detract from the beauty.

In the end, I just upgraded the whole shabang, ditching my 17-year-old, 6 hp 2-stroke for new 9.9, 4-stroke long shaft. Couldn't be happier.

Shaft Extension

I extended the length of my '95 20" Mercury 2 Stroke to a 25". I bought the kit from a place in Milan, OH. I posted the info about it when I did it I cannot remember the name right now. Check the archives and if I remember I'll post it.
