Outboard for 1990 Mac S

[nemosuit]

This will give you an idea of how far back and down my motor sits. It also takes all the tilt built into the motor to level.

Yeah, TB, my mount sits like that, too: down and at an angle. And I remember thinking, "WTH? It can work like that?"

But I guess that's how they are supposed to be, so that takes one load off my mind. Mahalo!

I still haven't gotten around to test-mounting my motor on the boat: darn ol' "real job" keeps taking up all my time. But I will soon as I can; and when I do, all the help I've received here will no doubt come in handy. Thanks again! :dance:

VBR,

If you use the parallel type of mount you will have to lift the motor up from inside the boat not just tilt it to clear the ramp.

Thinking about it , I don't think you can tilt the motor untill lift it.

You will at least need a line of some sort to lift the motor because it is a long way down and far out too.

This is not my boat but you can see a motor mounted and how low it sits when in the down position. I have the tiller control tilted up and with the shift extension I have no problems operating the motor with it locked in the fwd. position. You can also see the cleat used for the block and tackle to raise and lower the motor on the combing next to the stantion. Although it may look hard to pull the rope starter it really is not but is is hard to open the choke before the engine dies so it does require two pulls to start it when cold.

Wow, Man! That's REALLY way down and out there! And I think that's about how mine's gonna sit, too. Wish I could get down there and fiddle around with it right now, but it's going to be a while before I get to the motor.

If you guys are doing it this way, I figure it will work for me, too. Mahalo!

As always; thanks for the info.

^notice that picture has shift and speed control cables....

Eventually that is what I want us to have also. The long levers I've made for the shifter and throttle are better than nothing, but having the shift and throttle in a fixed handy location would be better yet,

TB, my 1980 V-22 appears to have that same mount, and it is not at an angle like that. I dont understand yours...

Bought a Honda 7.5 25 years ago. Best investment I ever made. Fair Winds...

Maybe the shear angle on the transom is different between the M25 and the V22. The mount just stays parallel to the transom.

With boat in the water I put a level on the motor where the cover attaches and with the motor tilted as far as it goes (last trim pin hole?) it is level. The mount for the cover is parallel with the horizonal fin just above the prop so all is well in Macland.
