Port side? Now sure how open you mean by open, but there's no bottom (and doesn't appear there ever has been) until you reach the hull. There are, though, two or more (it's been a while since I looked) vertical dividers. And let's not get into a discussion of how I could not possibly get my less-than-svelte self back to the transom from inside; I know I'd likely be cutting and installing an access port. Garhauer OB-125. Thanks. On 4/5/2013 8:40 PM, W David Scobie wrote:
John:
what you want is the Garhauer OB-125 outboard motor bracket.
they don't list it on their www-site. call them or send an email -

this is the outboard bracket i put on the Glesser's M15 (replaced a really poorly performing and hard to use Garelick) and the OEM braket on the Sage 17s and the new-build M15s and M17s.
now the more challenging issue - is your M15's port side cockpit locker open to the hull, or is the pan still present?

I know many of you have adjustable motor mounts for your M-15s and M-17s, and I'm looking (again, I've given up in confusion before) at the various offerings at Defender and West Marine. Obviously, I'd prefer stainless steel to aluminum, everything else equal (but nothing ever is), but what's really confusing me is the drastic price difference ($150 - $200) between those identified as for two-stroke and four-stroke engines, though I assume this is a max weight issue. So, my question(s): 1) Does any of this 2-stroke vs. 4-stroke matter for the 2HP, 4-stroke, 29-lb (something like that) Honda I use? 2) Vertical travel; what's right for an M-15?
Suggestions always welcome. What's your preference among those here:
