After a bit of thought I don't think you would like it. Very difficult to get to the motor even to start it, you have a lot of deck back there..

I've seen the above bracket used on a transom like yours they have a wedge shaped block behind the mount.. It will steer fine and if you need a sharp turn you can turn the motor as well..

I suppose you managed to disassemble the broken motor so with some care you could probably dress a new one... best of luck..
