496HO Owners
 

I got my man Fred at Trick on the case, but was wondering if anyone made an offshore mount for the 496?

I'm also told that Mercury does not recommend switching away from the foot mounts because of potental block casting problems...???

Curious to see how other 496s are mounted...pics would be cool too...

block casting problems...??? I havent heard that yet :eek: .I guess it wont take much power increase?????

Whats the story?

Re: 496HO Owners
 

What about the mounts that Baja is running on there 26 Outlaw w/ the 496?

Re: 496HO Owners
 

dunno...

what do they look like? do they use the feet? or are they like the GIL mounts?

Re: 496HO Owners
 

dunno about the casting issue either


is anyone out there using offshore mounts?

Re: 496HO Owners
 

Here is what the 2007 26 Outlaw uses for mounts.

Sean...my old Nordic was on the Merc L mounts.

Re: 496HO Owners
 

Those look like pretty strong mounts. I'm using the standard merc mounts, bolted to a piece of angle iron. The angle iron is through botled to the stringers.

Re: 496HO Owners
 

That's what I'm looking for! Any idea who makes the mount?

Re: 496HO Owners
 

I would assume that Baja makes these in house. You might want to contact them directly, I am sure they would tell you.

Re: 496HO Owners
 

I was afraid you were going to say that...thanks for the lead though...at least I know SOMEONE makes them... :)

Re: 496HO Owners
 

my 425's in my 353 are on "plate" "solid" offshore front mounts also

just like this...

Re: 496HO Owners
 

GIL Race mounts :rolleyes:

Re: 496HO Owners
 

My 36 Outlaw uses Gil Race Mounts on 496HO'S

Re: 496HO Owners
 

Perfect. Thanks...I checked their website and it does not show mounts, but i think there is a problem with the site...
