Author	Topic:   MONTAUK: Engine Mounting Height
sbaker7398	posted 05-04-2009 11:51 AM ET (US)         E-TEC 90-HP motors seem to be a popular re-power choice for the Boston Whaler MONTAUK. I am about to do the same, however my E-TEC dealer is not a Boston Whaler dealer. So to help him out on getting it rigged right the first time, I was wondering how others have their E-TEC mounted. Specifically, is your motor resting on top of the transom splashwell? If not how high above? What prop are you running? What is your max engine speed? What is your maximum boat speed?

That is a good starting point. I agree with your assessment: the E-TEC 90 has been a very popular choice for re-powering of 17-foot Boston Whaler boats. You should get some first-hand replies from owners with this set up.
