my 1984 fixed mount works fine with the honda 2HP long-shaft (1985 model). just a few centimeters of space when the engine is tilted up, but 'that is all you need.' the prop will drag a bit when on a port tack. if i go on the foredeck when the engine is running it will cause the prop to cavitate (i'm 200+ lbs). dave scobie M15 #288, not yet named Jim Sadler <jimsadler@jascopacific.com> wrote: Santa Claus brought me a Honda 2 HP long shaft.
