Definately not the best way to pod a boat! The motor has already had a rough life as the port side transom bracket has been welded before.

March 21, 2015 at 5:42 pm #12462Interesting! I don’t believe that was installed per manufacturers spec. 😆

I live in Northwest IndianaMarch 21, 2015 at 7:01 pm #12472I sure hope that rig doesnt go very fast (looks like it won’t) because if he hits a submerged object, that motor is coming in the boat with him! Never a good idea to restrain the travel of the engine upward so the shocks can control the inertia. At least it doesn’t have trim on the motor.

March 21, 2015 at 8:48 pm #12479Certainly not someone with any engineering logic. I’m good with the re purposing the boat to have an outboard but maybe just put a 9.9 on it to push it where you want to go/test out the theory. Wider wood blocks and 4 bolts comes to mind as well.
