Contact Jeff Strong at Tides Marine.
They will set you up.

I have been advised that using flexible motor mounts is a good idea to reduce the load transmission to the hull--she's an older woodie. Anyway I'm looking at vetus and merequipment among others and all the mounts seem to suggest a minimum weight of say 50 pounds--I assume this is per mount. Since I'm going to use 4 mounts and the ME0913 is about 50 pounds total with all accoutrement that would be only about 12.5 pounds per mount. What should I do? Does anyone have suggestions on motor mounts to buy? Also does anyone know a good chandlery in the SF Bay Area where I might get these (I tried Svendson's and a few others but no one has any in stock). The last question: do I even need them or can I just bolt them to a piece of 1" marine ply bolted to the stringers?
