Charlie.

 

Your Bob built M17 has a Garhauer OB-125 (I'm 99% sure of this).

 

The mount is still available from Garhauer (call as their www-site is poor)

or from Catalina Direct (search C.D.'s site for 'motor mount' and look for

the 'two spring model' .. stock mount on the Catalina/Capri 22).
