Hi there, I have a 1986 17' sportcraft center console with a 90hp evinrude. I would like to install a small outboard motor. I have a 1999 8hp Johnson 2 stroke. I have an adjustable bracket that holds up to 25hp. My problem is that I don't know how to Bolt the bracket to the Transom. Do I need any special bolts? How high the bracket needs to be bolted? Does the transom have 1” thick wood from left to right or I will have to use a plate inside the transom? Is the 8hp good enough for this boat? I always go out offshore but I had some problem with my 90hp and just in case I would like to have an extra motor. I’m a member of Towboat US but I don’t want to call them every time I have problem with my 90hp. I will really appreciated any help<br />Thank you

eula30,<br /><br />I am going to move this to the Boat Questions section. It really does not pertain to repair. Also, this may help someone else that is considering the installation of an auxilary bracket.
