Post Outboard to Longtail
Getting ready to remove the outboard and hang the longtail. I would like to put the outboard back on in the summer. To avoid drilling additional bolt holes in the transom, I was considering a bracket with the outboard bolt pattern and mounting the mud-motor on that. Please let me know if this would work or if I should just drill the new bolt holes for the MM. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Fill the ones not being used with silicone and forget about them till you need to remount your other motor.

Just put a bolt/washer/ nut with silicone in the holes not being used.

My boat has got 100 holes in it from the different things it has had mounted over the years.
