    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    to expand on Ted's #433 post. an I/O is pushing the boat from the bottom of the transom and the hull, where the stringers and motor mounts come together. this is trying to pry the bottom of the transom off a boat with a 15" lever arm the majority of the weight of the motor is supported on the...

    Catalina sailboats may be a memory
