It doesn't quite stick out past the side. It's just barely inside the rail but it is inside. I was concerned about that when mounting it. I mounted it by myself which isn't too bad but it was hard to get it to balance on the bow plate. It's a heavy trolling motor. Made sure to mark and...

They may not have been that much longer. It's been over a year ago now since I did my transom. But they all fastened as they should have during the process and smashed down correctly and are holding tight. Apologies if that number is way off.

When I removed mine I sacrificed an old chisel to pop the rivet head off from the outside. Just being careful to keep the chisel flat to the transom as to not gouge the aluminum and it worked out pretty good. I ordered rivets the were about 3/4' longer than the transom is thick and a rivet...

Still slowly picking away at the boat. It impresses me to watch other builds on how fast others are able to get things done. I'm a little slow I guess😂 I did get the motor painted and put on. Then, come to find out, the tilt motor was bad. Waiting for it to arrive. The worst part about...

Got a majority of the decking cut out and to my best guess, should be cut correctly to accommodate the 20oz carpet. That is a bit of a guessing game. Still need to do the back deck but need to get the gas fill neck figured out first on how to mount it before I can start cutting it. It started...

Couldn't contain the excitement. I had to get it mounted on the boat. Hopefully performs as good as it looks. This weekend I will be trying to get as much of the deck pieces cut out as possible, time dependent. Its just seems to be that time of year for me that I have 1000 things to do and...

Had a pretty amazing package finally show up. Can't hardly contain my excitement for this one. A bit on the pricey side of things but I don't imagine I'll have any complaints or needs of upgrades anytime soon. 😀

Got most of the engine sanded and primed while I was waiting for the lower unit is in for repairs. Went out of town for the weekend and they called saying it was done so excited to see it all fixed up. Will go get it Monday and sometime next week hopefully get it sanded so I can paint it all...

I appreciate everyone's input. I like the maneuverability of the RAM mount but also like the low profile of the Johnny Ray. Maybe I will look into just the shorter version of the RAM. That would keep it more stable it sounds like vs the longer model and also still prove all the movement and...

I have actually looked at this one as well. Was a bit afraid it may have held the unit a bit higher up and in line of sight. May have to do more research on it.

I guess I misspoke in my earlier post. Sitting here going through pics on my phone I realized I did take a couple before pics of the lower unit all busted up. It was in a sad state of affairs. Sort of scared to see the bill from fab shop but will still be cheaper than a new or even used lower...

LDUBS, I'm thinking the same thing, I want something low profile as I have a Garmin 93SV and 106SV, undecided on which will go on console yet but most likely the 106. I want and like the low profile of the johnny ray. The cradle itself tilts back and forth so I just want something that pivots...

I have considered the RAM mount but I see a lot of negative reviews that it can come loose. Do you have this issue at all? I am thinking of putting my Garmin 106SV on console. Not sure what it weighs or what the capabilities of the RAM are.

Hey all, Not sure if this post should be in this forum or not, feel free to move if not. I'm interested in some sort of graph mount for my console. It's got a flat top (I'll post a pic) and easy enough to just mount the cradle to the flat top but I'm curious about a cheaper mount that is able...

Happy Friday all! I took the day off from work today to get a few things done and then went out to work on the boat. Fisrt thing this morning I dropped off my lower unit to get the anti cavitation plate repaired. I didnt think to take before pics of it but both sides had broke off it. One...

Well, I had to take a break from the boat for awhile. Had to put new head gaskets in my pickup and then timing chains in the car. soon as I thought I was going to get back to it my grandfather passed away so its been a little bit. I have been plugging away slowly at it again lately and its...

Yes, that is what I am talking about. I knew it was 3/4'' just wasn't sure on thread pitch. Thank you!!

Another update on progress. Had a pretty nice day yesterday so I decided to finish the paint. Just needed to do the bow and top rail and just below rail on inside for where the carpet will not cover. Did the bow and had just a bit of the red left over so decided to paint the rear corner caps...

I have to run up to town tomorrow anyways so I will take it with me to see what I can find

Hey guys, I have a question on thread type. During my restoration project I put a new transom in. It must be about 1/2" taller than the old rotted one was. This is where my problem lies. I have a new johnson livewell pump and the flat portion of the intake does not mate up to the transom...
