While trolling, with no warning the engine made a loud...

    Looking for a used single engine Springfield bracket. Mine is shot and would like to use factory transom holes. It doesn't have to be in great shape as I may use it for a template or refurb it while I am still using mine. Thanks in advance!!

    shot bracket

    Time to get it back up

    Thought I'd see if this club is going to fire back up. I did get some emails two years ago and saw one meeting taking place. What is the status, Its always great to hang out with like minded folks. As always safe boating!
