Potterers - I wrote about the motor problem to you all and you gave me a
variety of suggestions. However I solved the problem by lashing a 7' bunk
board, covered with carpet to the rear uprights of the cockpit rails. I
mount the Nissan 5hp, 4stroke on the board with the prop resting on a
cushion of rags in a box on the cockpit floors.
Note: Have only done it once, but it worked. Also, didn't note any thrust
problems when I used it.
