i'll keep jethro away from the torches :lol: :lol: . i know an excellent welder, he will "stitch weld" it to avoid too much heat. 2 little tack welds, one on each corner would probably do.

don, no pics, but do you make a righty & a lefty? mount tab on opposite sides . saw another, no bracket option.

 

[Don Ferrette]

if i do anything other than a bracket, it would be to cut the mount tab off and have one tig welded on B) .

Yes there are "lefties" in limited quantities.

 

[moparbarn]

i want one. i'll call this evening. any time best?

Robin,

I wouldn't do it.........

It's Aluminum and it will dissipate the heat throughout the entire part immediately.

I don't care who's doing it.It will warp slightly.You might not notice it with your eye,but it will.

I've got over 30 years in Tig, I've done Military Aluminum welding and have 10 people ornamental tig welding in my shop full time.

Sh#t happens with heat. Save yourself some aggravation and make a small bracket.

Just my $.02

i've already had one done, no issues. we found a peice of brass that was threaded the same as the base. threaded it in snug and tacked both corners. waited a while, and tacked the middle. works great. checked turning torque with an in./oz. torque wrench before and after, no change/bind. and with flow meter at 1 & 2 turns open, again, no change, before and after. thanx for the caution, walt, but i do check to see what i screwed up with my "experiments" B) . they don't all work out just rite :unsure: :lol: .

Robin,

On my Villain hulls with a wood transom I mounted it to the back of the transom with the flat on top and put a concave radius on top of the transom for the O.S. needle to clear.

Just another idea.

My Woodstuff, I mounted it inside

[moparbarn]

same thought on the villain, only on the inside. yes, it's for a villain. my motor mount will be where yours is mounted on the transom. got to go to the post office and pick it up today . i'd like to mount it like your woodstuff, but you know how a villain with a grim cell lacks that amount of room..........

 

[moparbarn]

don, m.o. headed your way......

 

[moparbarn]

thanx, don, got it yesterday .
