yup, what he said. that will do the trick. remember when baja used to just drill into the top of the stringer and in a few short years the stringer would be rotten if the mount didn't already pull out lol

My current boat is rigged like these guys are saying with the angle iron vertical rather than horizontal. That would require you to get an "offshore" style mount. Depending on how you plan on using the boat, it may not be necessary.

Used offshore mounts come up all the time. Your not building a bayliner or ski boat. You building a boat that will be launched in the air repeatedly, one thats going to take some hits... Thats 900 pounds naging back there. If it comes unglued its going to cost you a lot more than a $150 offshore mount.

Hello all.
I'm in the process of mocking up my driveline in my 24-7 project.
The combo is a bravo/bbc.
My question is in mounting the engine to the hull. Specifically, is it ok to use a standard rubber isolator type engine mount bolted down to a 1/2" thick aluminum angle bracket bolted to the stringer? Dana marine sells extruded aluminum angle for this purpose.
Here's a pic of a piece of 1/2", 6 by 6 aluminum angle I have mocked up. Will this be an acceptable install?
I would machine the angle "horizontal" back a bit and through bolt it with a backing plate.
Thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks, rob

While I'm sure the angle bracket would meet the minimum requirement, I've had a "come to
Jesus" moment and snagged this, just now, on eBay:
It's an NOS Gil mount. I'll get some 3" by 3" by 3/8 aluminum angle and use the vertical mounting method.
Thanks for all the replies.
