Hi all -
I am working on my .40 Microburst boat, and I am ready to drill the holes for the engine mount. The instructions say to put the center of the cylinder 14 1/2" from the transom. That seems pretty far back when you look at it. Seems to me it ought to be around 16" from the transom (closer to the fron of the boat). I've seen these boats be pretty loose if not set up correctly, and it seems that the more weight in the front of the boat the better.
Additionally, the carb air intake is not covered by the deck when it is at 14 1/2". If it really is supposed to be at 14 1/2", do you make a plastic cover to shield the carb from water?
Thanks in advance -
Jay
