The issue I ordered a trailering bracket . I have an 2006 GTR . Endless I'm missing something it does not appear the new brackets are compatible with the older motors. I didn't think about it until after I ordered it |

Corey's bracket is more like a transom saver for an outboard. Not the traditional bracket like what a GT comes with. I believe they're on his website. |

Man I'm sorry I'm not interested in the 130$ transom saver. I allready have a GT trailering bracket. But I'm wondering if they are not compatible with the 2006 motor. If not I will just return it or have it modified. I usually strap down my motor but figured the bracket would be faster to secure the motor. |

The GT bracket will work you just need to install the studs it hooks to. |

Ok great thanx. Gatortail is sending me the hardware for the beaket prolly should of just waited till it came in to see how it will work. Let me rephrase the previous statement. The cottonmouth transom saver is nice but I allready have a bracket. |

Your going to have to drill and tap for the bolts that the bracket hooks to. In your picture I don't see the holes. |

I had to install them on one if my motors. I drilled then used a helicoil kit. |

Helicoil is mo betta. |

I've always had better luck drilling, tapping, and then Loc-tight'ing a helicoil in where I need threads. I've done it in thicker aluminum on boats too if you need a threaded hole to mount something. |

Those pegs with the pin to secure the bracket are a pain in the ass. We ground out a notch in it to and did away with the pin. |

Don't think you need to tap all the way threw go a few threads and tighten the dog shit out of it ! |

I will wait for the hardware to get in to be sure of the size before I tap it / helicoil |

If the trims holding down the bracket what's the purpose of the bracket ? Isn't the bracket supposed to secure the motor ? When you hit bumps and pot holes , your motors going to want to bounce. Won't that pin move around ? |
