How he heck would you reinforce the transom? Tear it apart and reglass? Seems like a crazy project,especially if you had to crawl under the deck. Gilbert. 1974.

I did reinforce the transom first, though, to make sure there weren't any problems. Much better than having to remove it all the time and adding one more chore at the launch ramp. My motor is the 6hp Suzuki. Same as your 4hp. If you mount it as far to port as possible you should be able to clear your rudder all right. That's one of the benefits of the Suzuki, having the control arm coming out the front instead of the side like the Yamaha.

Jerry Montgomery says that the outboard belongs in the boat while sailing, but that's simply no...
