Our customers have used this unit to mount 60 to 300 hp motors.

These are popular, although we have struck problems where the flange on the outboard may be an interference fit with the two upper fastening bolts of these brackets.

This problem can now be remedied as each set is delivered with the Taper kit as standard.

These holes are tapered with our special reamer, and we supply 2 Stainless Steel Tapered set screws with Stainless Nuts. Photos and explanation HERE

This allows you to fit 2 x 1/2 x 3 inch Tapered set screws in the location where the interference happens.

The set screws sit flush or very slightly below the surface of the bracket , making sure that the mounting bracket for your outboard does not contact them.
