Author	Topic:   Katama 16 Engine Mounting
james cosby	posted 08-09-2008 02:10 PM ET (US)         Hi, I recently purchased a 1971 Katama 16 powered by a 1977 Evinrude 85-HP. There is a large rubber pad between the motor and transom that sticks out beyond the engine mounting bracket. I am replacing the old motor with a new Yamaha 90-HP two-cycle. Can I get away from using the rubber pad on the new motor?
