Can anyone give me some suggestions on proper
height when mounting motor on a pontoon boat?
I am in the process of changing from a 50 hp
Honda to 60 hp mercury big foot.
currently, the honda is mounted w/the cavitatation plate approx 4" below the bottom of the motor mount box. it performs ok except
on occasion when i get too much weight forward.
i know that on a regular boat, you should align
the cav plate w/the bottom of boat. But on a pontoon, do you use the bottom of the mounting
pylon as the bottom of the boat. the pontoons are still quite a bit lower than the center mounting box. i should mention that it is a 18' pontoon.
any help is appreciated. |
