Ok, well you obviously didn't get the point when I told you to go do one, so answer me this... Where have I given advice in this thread that was wrong?

So why did you feel a need to get involved then? We were doing far better without you.

That did actually cross my mind, but I figured there is going to be an occasion eventually when that happens due to a purely downward force, or a combination of a side force and heavy throttling. I...

Boat1, I see what you're getting at and you're absolutely right as far as I know, but I don't know if you're seeing what we're suggesting here. The standard rubber 'isolation' type mounts barely...

I'll second all of that Mike! I'd also agree that it doesn't really matter if the drives are a touch low seeing as it's a leisure boat. I don't really think it's worth the risk of trying to go high....

It's more a case of 'if it don't look broken' with a boat, and I'm not sure it's the way forward. I hear what you're saying about the fact that it's done for many years, but then my revenger did for...

That's because the guy's clearly a complete and utter tosser, I have no idea at all why he's still allowed here when all he aims to do is offend people.
I've found this to be a very constructive and...

I actually quite like the idea of a solid cradle for both engines then sat on rubber mounts, that could be a good way forward, if a little 'outside the box'.

Thanks for the document Tony, very...

Thats a pretty tasty looking motor!! 1" sounds mighty close, but may be achievable with the right mounts and some form of brace as suggested.
I must admit I'm starting to doubt saying you shouldn't...

Entirely possible, though you'd need one front and back. I used to tune cars and it's quite common to have a little very firm shok absorber bracing the motor to the engine bay to reduce engine...

Solid mounts will result in a fair bit of vibration and noise through the boat from the motors, I'm not sure I'd like it on a leisure boat, I'd just move em further apart.
How much further apart...

I don't know if there's a spacer for an alpha drive or trs, a google search could probably answer that one. I'd imagine there is though, I know they do it for bravos.

Why are you looking to add a centre stringer? If the boat didn't have one to start with, I wouldn't worry about it. If you must fit one, normally I'd expect it to go right to the front, same as the...
