Keith,With the long shaft outboard motor in the cut out, the prop wasn't low enough in the water for the cooling intake unless at least one person was in the boat. When sailing alone, I couldn't start the engine and step onto the dock. Now with a motor mount I can let the engine warm up while I deal with dock lines and gear.Fair Winds,Mike Faiand On Suay, June 27, 2021, 09:27:03 AM PDT, Cap Keith <orionkeith@msn.com> wrote Hello all, Just a quick question… I own a M17, 1980 model. Purchased with an attached, adjustable motor mount thru-bolted where the cut out for an outboard. Question: Why not use the existing, cut-out for say, a 4-5hp motor? (Wanting to re-power). cKeith K Ginger Snap Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
