I need to put a new motor mount on my Sandpiper 565. In looking though the archives the only recommendation I found is the the one from Catalina. It looks like the one on the M17. What is on the new M17 or Sage? Thanks Doug Kelch M15 G #310 "Seas the Day" Sandpiper 565 #192 "Take Five"
Doug: When I replaced my original fiberglass motor mount recently, Bob E. told me he installs the Garhauer models. The only place I could find them is on the Catalina Direct online store. I installed the two-spring model (link below) using a heavy backing-plate kit sold separately (not cheap), and have been happy with how easy it is to raise, lower and adjust my 60-lb Nissan outboard. This model may seem expensive compared to others, but I think its heavy-duty construction makes it worth the price: http://www.catalinadirect.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_I... I don't know what mount they're installing on the Sage. Take care, Gordon St. Paul, MN On Jul 12, 2011, at 12:30 PM, Doug Kelch wrote:

I don't know about thje M -17, but on the Sage we are using as std equipment a fixed mount, very similar to the ones I used to use on the M boats, and optional is one made by Garhauer, which lifts. jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Kelch" <doug_kelch@yahoo.com> To: "Montgomery" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 10:30 AM Subject: M_Boats: Motor mount?
