        Cougar, I cut a wedge on a table saw to fill the void in the upper body.. a four sided wedge.

            These may give you some idea of the mount, as you can see it is off center, this is a factory issue. If you want i can take more detailed pictures tomorrow with some measurements.

                I think the reasoning is it frees up the hitch for towing.

                  So the side mount don't have a brace on the bottom of the motor? The one rear mount I saw had a brace that ran from the hitch to the bottom of the motor. It was a V shape. I was going to try and run the motor without the bottom brace first. Cougar

                    You could still have any local metal fab shop make you a foot brace with a backing plate inside, and a mounting plate out!

                      I wouldn't want to run a gas engine without the mount being tied into the hitch>argo frame. The body isn't strong enough IMHO.

                        side mount

                        The side mount does free up the hitch but is tied into the frame at the same location as the hitch(right hand 2 bolts as seen from rear of machine). Also if you are running a tiller type outboard it puts the tiller handle so as you sit on the bench the handle is very convenient. I took pictures and measurements on this hook-up. Are you still interested in the measurements and pics?

                          Yes that would be very help full. Iam running a 50# minn kota with a 42" shaft, when it gets in at Wal Mart. Thanks Lewis Cougar
