I have had one for over 20 yrs, 230 MI each way to oswego. I use
A nylon strap to secure it to the boat, it stops the bouncing. I
Have seen a bracket break, not mine, but it can happen. I also
Bolt the motor to the bracket.
If you can, run over to the leighvally sports show in allentown, Sat 1 Mar and Mar 2 and look
up Prime Time Pete, An excellent Charter Capt. He Charters out of Oswego, NY and is at
the sportshow now.
