salty,
thank you for the measurements
the garelick model # is 71090 or 71091, it measures 8" wide x 12" in length, the space to the right of the trim tab piston is 12x 14 very tight. bracket has to be through bolted and the live well is right there. raymarine wants 3" prop clearance below transducer & 2' left or right. they said i may not have any interference but it is possible that there would be. the prop on the big motor is 30" away from the transducer and to the best of my figuring the kicker prop would be about 23". my transducer is actualy 19" from the center of the mounting bracket of the big motor and best case it would be 16" from the center of the kicker bracket. i believe the travel from up to down is 21" on that bracket.
getting concerned about this thing working out. I will talk more w/the marina, looks like there is going to be a few more hurdles that might have been overlooked.

there are two garelick brackets for 4 strokes
1 has 9 inches of vertical travel and other has 15 inches of travel. ONLY GET THE 1 WITH 15 INCHES!

adrien,

that would be the 71901. (i read the specs wrong 1st time) vertical travel is 15 1/8". distance from transom to motor mount face is 10 1/8" up position to 16 7/8 down position. can you see it working out to the right of the trim tabs? i think when it is all said and done it might create quite an obstacle for the downrigger and when landing a fish.

Mine is right on the edge and no problem landing fish. Got to be real careful docking on the starboard side. If you have the space to mount it where you say you will be golden. I think yours will be mounted higher from the water than mine.

ilucas,
I would have to second getting the one that drops down 15 inchs.On my other boat I mounted my bracket a little to high.When I was in rough water and the motor was all the way down on the bracket the motor would come out of the water.but in clam waters it ran great I also used an easy steer that works great.It looks like you have a heavy of enough boat so you should have no problem but It's just a thought.Good luck.

No problem. I have 2 0n that side. I run one at 90 degrees and the one behind the kicker at 45.
