1983 2.4 200 mercury: opinions on solid mounts or not?

[jamescuda]

Looking for advice/opinions here. I am about to finish assembly of a modified 2.4 200 powerhead for my bassboat. I am guessing it should push it high 60's to
low 70's. The rig is a 1992 stratos 201 with cable steering. I have solid mounts sitting here and the question I have is should I install them or not? Thanks,James

If you're up on the pad and having to steer out chine walk then yes install them.

Put them in.

Yup...

Definitely. I put them on my InLine 115 on a Glasstream 15V bass boat and it was night and day difference. I don't think I'd want a 50+ MPH boat without solids.

If your trying to get rid of any steering play its a must. JMO

Do it. Just doit. Saftey and control increases greatly

Replace both uppers and lowers. You'll have to remove the powerhead to install the uppers. DO NOT replace "just" the lower mounts! The clamp bracket will be forced to support the entire motor by the lower mounts, and something will crack.

With full solid mounts, you'll enjoy much more accurate steering and handling.

Anyone can share a link where to buy solid mounts for my 1981 200 Blk Max?
