Author	Topic:   Mercury 90 4S / Montauk Static Trim
Moby	posted 05-29-2003 01:03 PM ET (US)         I just saw a leftover "Factory Rigged" 2002 Montauk (Cathedral Hull) with a Mercury 90 Four-Stroke. The motor looked HUGE! The salesman told me it was the long shaft model. It seems like the weight on the stern would affect the static trim a great deal. I've also read (on this board) that the 25" shaft can also be a problem. Has anyone run this combination?
