Moving the motor forward.
 

I was wondering How I would move the motor forward as far as the rear engine mount on a bravo style boat where the bellhousing is the mount. I WANT TO MOVE IT FORWARD 1". iS There a bellhousing with a adjustable mount or do you have to make a spacer for the inner transom.

On our Factory 1 boat we bonded a 3/4" plywood piece about 6' bigger around inside the boat. It held up perfect.

Good idea

I would just use a rear racemount ,,,where u dont need the inner transommount.
Goes inbetween the bellhousing and the engine and bolts to the stringers .:eek:

thanks

How would that work, surely you need the splines of the shaft to engage in the drive plate? Hence the reason for the min/max measurement for the transom thickness.

It might help if you explain more about what/why you are doing this. If you are going to move the engine forward, I dont see how you will reuse a coupler. You would have to use a driveshaft, which probably means an ext. box.

Just trying a idea that I have. The new hp couplers stick out 4"s past the bellhousing so 1" will not matter.

I was thinking the same thing. Why 1 inch??????


Although the snout on the coupler sticks out farther, I'm not sure if the spines extend at all. They definately do not extend the entire length.
