Would you know right of the top of your head what the dimensions are for the four o/b engine mounting holes in the transom are?

I dont off the top of my head. We have a jig that fits the transom and you just drill thru it. I can measure it if you want me too. D

I dont mind If you need the measurements. Sorry ive never measured them before. Did you pull something other than a omc off the boat? I know Mercs are different but the v4- v6 omcs are the same.

I was just measuring the mounting plate on this Detwiler jackplate and I think they're different then the holes in my transom.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Re: Rod Knocking

It should be the same pattern. Everybody has used the ABYC standard for a very long time now for most mid size engines and higher.<br /><br />Good luck!
