I appreciate that!

Amazing !! I like the tape to make a perfect line with the sealant. I am gonna try that next project.

Good stuff brother. I’d love to see a video of how to install a drain plug into the hull. So you can get that last little bit of water out that never comes out the back or use it as a drain port for service work.

Awesome Vids Guys just enough Info and to the point were its not over whelming. Thanks

I've noticed now that I've been watching your channel, it takes 7 days for me to get a new video. Now, you're thinking"yeah it's 7 days between Tuesdays" but, That is now taking forever!! My Tuesdays have never seemed so far apart !!!! Lol!

Excellent video, so much to learn you covered a lot here, Thanks

Very informative tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from the Outer Banks, N.C.

Any time you install a outboard bracket you double the stress on the transom due the cantilever/leveraging. You better make sure your transom is sound and/or additional reinforcement for safety sakes.

I like to cover the fastener heads inside with sealant to encapsulate and then paint it.

Great info.. many thanks.

Another great informative tutorial; thank you!

Loved it if you were tell someone what you going to do that day, no way you could explain how much work and prep it work take to get the the finish. Great job so easy to cut corners but none taken here I would bring my boat to you bud.😉👍👍

Looks great guys!

A little trick I use on 5200 to save some money... put it in the fridge when your done stays good for months!!

New paint , new Coosa transom. Mounted my bracket according to this video. Found out the hard way twin engine brackets use a different formula. It would help people in the future if you edited this video or made a new one to explain the twin engine bracket measurements. As always great content. Maybe you could make a video on how to fill all the bolt holes in my new transom now 🤣🤣🤣

Oh no! Sorry dude! That sucks! Was it a new bracket, it didn't have a template? Ouch! You can't edit once the videos published :( sadly. Take a 1/2 hole saw or maybe a 5/8 depending in the size of your holes, and take out the drill bit and make plugs out of some treated wood or left over Coosa, then soak the in the resin and stick them in the holes :)

this is how to videos should be made-excellent!

i would love to see you do this on an aluminum boat! please look for an aluminum boat for your next project.

Nice job my friend 😎😎😎

Nice Job! Is there any advantage to prepping or painting the bracket, before installation? Can you gelcoat the Armstrong brackets, I am guessing they are powder coated! Keep up the great videos, HUGE help!!!

I wonder why I like Tuesdays oh ya BAB tech Tuesday 👍

if ya gonna use sealent on holes. squirt it in first. so you know 100% that it's got enough sealent inside the holes... just to be 100% sure :)

I've been following your videos for a while now. Their great. I just purchased a boat that didn't run, 24ft Jaws by Lorequin Marine. it needed work which is why I purchased it. It needed a PCM , fuel line work, coil packs and driver. I took your advise on cleaning the VST on the Opti 225. It started today and ran like a champ. My question to you is, I noticed some gauges dont work. Im thinking of autometer Marine carbon series. will any marine gauge work on a 2 stroke outboard. Keep the videos coming thanks for your time...

I love this channel

great job on that

Good job 👏 👍 👌 🙌

After you open 3M 5200 you can throw it in the freezer and it will last forever. Thaw it and re use multiple times.

Nice job

Good job

Thanks for the video, really great information. Where can someone get a used engine bracket like that?

Nice, very nice

Nice!

I live in NC if I have any work to be done on my boat it would be worth it to bring it to you . takeing pride in your work . Great job thanks

Really enjoying this video. I am going to remove my 470 mercruiser and add a bracket. I would love to see a video closer showing measurements for the bracket hight and details. I have a 1980 glasply 21 foot cuddly cabin. This was a well built boat and I think it deserve a re-power and bracket. I was going to use a 25” 150 Suzuki outboard.

Yessss!!! Ask and you shal receive! Now if I can get someone to show us how to build one lol Is that aluminum or wood?

Well for an engine its usually about 55 ft lbs. For this, I hit with the impact until the nuts don't spin and stop before it starts to sink into the fiberglass :) eventually you just get a feel for it and know when it's good lol I'm not sure for the bracket sorry :(

Tuesday’s can’t happen fast enough.

we call em pods as in engine pods

Hello Born again!! I have a question in regards to the bracket height. when your installing a bracket for dual motors how do you figure out which is the height?? hope to hear from you soon. And thanks for all the valuable info!!!

One thing I would add is don't use an impact. I always hand tighten every through bolt on a transom.

excellent video:why did armstronge build engine pods (late 80-early 90s) w/ a gap at the bottom of pod right where it mates the transome the pod fills w/ water.I'm in saltwater so I can't really completely seal pod like if water gets in tnside pod it will be diffacult to rinse.I can post a image.thanks for advice.

@VicTor-gi7so

3 жыл бұрын

howd that work out ? how did you seal bracket??

Without watching the video I'm going to say that the best reason to not put a bracket on is because it increases the leverage that the motor has on the back of the boat, increasing stress on the transom and reducing the life of it. That said, there are proper ways to install one that don't eliminate this issue but at least make it manageable.

My bracket is a Dusky one with open V shape design.. Is it possible to seal the top so no water gets in it???

You don’t measure off the platform of the bracket, you measure from where the engine mounting riser which is usually at least 4”. And for every foot back on the bracket you raise it 1 inch. Just saying!

Subbed ....cheers

Thanks! Found the bracket on Craigslist for $400

Why do you set the swim platform level of the bracket at the 20" or 25" distance up from the keel and not the top of the raised section. where the motor hangs, like a regular transom ? Because that raised section on the bracket is higher then the swim platform deck.

Don't forget!! Measure twice. Cut once. 😂😂😉

Can you put a outboard bracket on a 13’6” Bayliner?

How much cost the hole closing of inboard engine? Would it not be cheaper to put secondhand inboard engine?

You misses out a very important fact - that engine can be mounted higher the further back behind the boat? Now your cav plate will be to low when on the plane. That engine needed to go 4inches higher at 30Inch behind the boat. How did you find it when fitted and RUN?

Do you have any recommeded brands for transom brackets?

Do you have any salvaged single engine brackets for sale?

What type (material) of screws do you use, when you install an aluminum bracket? Stainless steel?

It feels like it is just hanging out there too far and could break off the transom. Wouldn't it be better to cut the transom and mount the engine directly on it?

What are you spraying on the 5200 for clean up? That looks like degreaser. But I’m not sure.

Depends on how bad the cracks are. I would suggest checking out Boatworks Today and seeing if he has any content that is applicable for you :)

How far apart can the difference in the angles be? Wouldn't the difference of the angle change the stresses on the bracket causing cracks (eventually) in the bracket?

There are so many reason that this makes sense. early versions of bracket/lifts were pioneered right here by Glenn Woolridge on the Wild & Scenic Rogue River. His boats are legendary and still highly desirable. Woolridge is still in business 👍. My drift boat motor is suspended behind the hulls contact with the water by the 'rocker' built in to the design. My fellow fishermen approved this message 🌐 It's a watery world.🌐

Where did you buy a used bracket?

Put 5200 in the refrigerator in a Ziploc last over a year

most boaters figure the drive shaft nose cone and Prop need to be as dead center as can be accomplished. But (more so; with super hi performance Hull and outboard Horse Power) I always Took into account The torque created by the direction the prop swung especially at high speeds. For ex. a clockwise spin develops a centrifugal force which when she is trimmed out real high will actually Walk the hull to the right sideways. yer gonna lose 2 or 3 mph. so...u mount the engine to favor the Starboard. an inch

Any info on POWER calls? I/O 225hp how much OUTBOARD power would be needed?

Hi I purchased a used bracket it is 12 degrees but my transom is 14 degrees do I have to compensate the mounting height of the bracket?

@BornAgainBoating

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you should compensate some for that. But that is not that big of an offset, depending on the bracket manufacturer, you can call them and they will generally have instructions that will help you step by step on how to make that compensation!

I love your videos and your channel but I wish you named the videos a little better. Instead of "why not install a bracket", how about "Project boat x part y". I was watching this project series but gave up because I couldn't find the next video. Which happens to be this particular one, I had to stumble on it. Anyway, great channel and content, I'm learning a lot, thanks for sharing!!

Hello. I need to know if I could be able to put a bracket and a little more heavy engine in a 1990 center console proline with I have now envirude 225hp in a open transom on rear of boat ( not close) My intentions are to use similar bracket on this video and 200hp 4 strokes Suzuki with will be about 700-900 pounds on the back of my boat!

@BornAgainBoating

4 жыл бұрын

These are sticky situations. Because older boats were not designed for the extra weight in the back, when you add the bracket and then the heavier engine, some of those older boats will tend to porpoise because they are too light in the bow. Then you have to add weight to the bow to get them to ride correctly. You also want to look at the deck and how far above the water line the deck is. If it's just above the waterline, and you add the weight and it can push the back of the boat down and allow water to always come in the deck drains. So there are some things that you want to research and look at to consider before going all in on the project! Not to scare you, most of the time just like with this 23, the end result is amazing and there aren't any issues! Just be mindful of those things.

Hello goodnight I am writing from Argentina, I have a donzi 16 sweet, we remove the internal motor and we want to put a mercury PRO XS 115 HP outboard motor ... it will work well with a bracket? , could you help me to do the calculations, I would not like to move it far from the transom From already thank you very much !

Hello, youll have to strengthen the transom, but I've never done something like that on a small 16 foot boat, youll want to use a small single engine bracket and then also, the 115 sounds like a small engine. I just looked it up and they came with 200 and 250 engines!

@@BornAgainBoating Good day ! Thanks for your answer ... 115 is not enough, but here in Argentina they wouldn't let me install something bigger, the idea was a 150 .. let's see if by changing the computer we can bring it a higher power. Here it is said that every 4 inches it moves away from the transom, you have to raise the engine half an inch ... do you know if that's the case? How do you do the calculation? I saw some calculations in the video but the language doesn't suit me. Cheers !!

When you need to take that bracket off in the future, you'll realize 5200 wasn't the right choice. Ive spent hours removing swim platforms an outboards because of 5200. Usually takes paint or fiberglass with it.
