Default RE: Where to mount the engine?

look at some of those scale to get an idea.. Its more tords to front.. Before you mount that motor mount?? Do a center of gravity test..To do that,set that boat on a strait board and get a around dowl and place that under the board. doing this will help you find your boat CFG/center of gravity..move your motor with mount on it back and forth until your boat levels out/ballanced for you. then you can mount that motor&mount in that spot.. But besure before you do that ,have all your hardware electriconic and exaust system and fuel tank in it first before you do your CFG test setup.That what I'd read on some forums and doing that my self on a smaller boat..Heres a pic of one with a CMB green head.. this should help you out or give you some ideas where to place your motor at..
