And I would be appreciative for any advice along the same lines with regards to a motor mount for a M23 with a 9.9 hp 4 stroke. Thank you, Todd -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of John Tyner Sent: Friday, April 05, 2013 5:01 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: M_Boats: Adjustable motor mount for M-15 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: http://search.defender.com/?Action=2&AnswerId=61276&SH=QT1nYXJlbGlja35CPWdhc mVsaWNrfkQ9MjV_RT0xXjFeMF5_Rz02MTI4MV4xfkk9UHJpY2V_Sz00fkw9MX5NPTF_Tj0zfg&SI =bc1bfde5-0416-4046-ad9a-122dc45c6256 Thanks, John Tyner M-15 #412
