I've never had a boat with an engine bracket. I've never even run a boat with a bracket. Here's the bottom line.. I want even more performance out of my Mako.. Although it does go to the gulf steam occasionally, it's predominantly a fresh water lake boat. It's the baddest most beautiful boat on the lake and I'm still working to make it even more impressive. I'll try to snap a few pictures this weekend with the digital camera to post. Here are the details...
2001 232 CC limited edition (black hull)
twin counter rotating Mercury 150 Optimax's with Mirage 15 1/2" x 17 props with cup - I'm most positive it's propped right..
the motors are mounted right on the transom
the boat has a walk-through transom, so engine tilt is no issue, it has a swim platform, and swamping is no concern
Will a bracket provide a noticeable performance increase? Is it worth the money? How much offset is required to achieve the performance benefit? Are 10" jack plates an option? I'm not sure how much slack I have in my controls cables. Should I measure them as a first step or will the performance gains justify new controls if necessary? Where is the best place to buy one? I would appreciate any recommendations/suggestions before I proceed. Thanks..
