Ric,

    My current Rhodes has a 6 hp Mercury 4-stroke, long shaft (25”), mounted on a spring-loaded parallelogram style mount (customized by me).  Sorry no pics because the boat is in Belize and I’m not.

?Hey Ric,
         To quote Alex "I have a 2006 Tohatsu 8 HP with electric start.
It’s a 20" shaft, and it’s mounted on a " spring loaded parallelogram type
mount.  This is for Enosis I over in Greece.
The boat here in the US that I just bought has an amazing 20" 1986 6 hp
Johnson Seahorse that the mechanic said had 20 hours on it and was in
Smithsonian quality.
It is mounted on a GB electric lift that I hope to get working this week.
