Does anybody have a Yamaha F20?

[dcrahn]

My plans are to use an F20 as a kicker motor for my cruiser in case of an emergency. When not in use I plan to keep it mounted on a laydown rack bolted down to the deck that I am drawing. What I need is the thickness of the lower unit just below the cavitation plate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Or if somebody has a email address for Yamaha's Tech Dept.

The measurement you're asking for isn't included in the owners or service manuals. Unless you wish to wait for a reply by someone who has the same engine, go to your local yamaha outboard dealer with a tape measure.

I have an F20. They can't be stored or transported while laying down. Engine oil leaks into cylinders and elsewhere creating havoc.

Another reason to have a two stroke.

the engine can be transported/stored on its' throttle arm side. (as per owners manual). my measurement under the cav plate is 1 1/8 thick
