Sean, On post #95, the port motor has a different looking bracket on it for the sea pump. Who is the manufacturer or supplier of that bracket?

sorry it took me so long to reply rotax.
all brackets on the engine are merc brackets. some have had unused bosses and such removed and then smoothed to clean up the assembly. it's the lil extra stuff my builder does.

update.. we werent happy with the idle and my builder is now working some of his magic to get them juuust right more to come
