When you're in the market to get one, I highly suggest getting the standard horizon CP180i. Its fits perfect to the right of the compass. Its low profile keeps it from sticking up over the windscreen, so when you put on a cover, you dont have to remove the unit.

I have no idea. The previous owner had it done when he was swapping engines. It looks like its just screwed into the transom. Only advice I can give is use short screws...... Im not sure how thick the 26's transom is.
When Im out tomorrow I will get a closer look to see how they mounted it.

I will keep that in mind when i go to get mine. Thanks for any insight on the transom mount and I was already thinking about 1/2" screws just for that reason.

They mounted it above the exhaust, dead center on the transom.

1/2 stainless screws/washers

That sounds easy. Thank you. I do like the fact that it is out of the way and off the riser. AFter remounting or even removing for manifold service, does the shift cable need to be adjusted? I would think not, the cable is adjusted for slack versus itself and nothing else.
