<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I copied the engine box as boatsmith build his ( <a href="http://tiki30.blogspot.nl/">http://tiki30.blogspot.nl/</a>) (<a href="http://tiki30.blogspot.nl/2010/10/new-engine-box-and-yamaha-99.html?m=1">http://tiki30.blogspot.nl/2010/10/new-engine-box-and-yamaha-99.html?m=1</a> ) and am very pleased with it.</p>
<p>I also decided to use a longtail yamaha ft 9.9 high trust with powertilt. A silent strong engine, with the ease of the powertilt so no need to open and close the motorbox every time.</p>
<p></p>
<p>but..</p>
<p>The powertilt version has a bracket that is deeper than the non powertilt version. I build the motor support close to the plans, and then ( see photo) the bracket is close to the water.</p>
<p>it hits the wave's above 8 knots.. at higher speeds ,10+ , it feels like hitting a brake!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I lifted the motor 8 cm, now that is over.. But even on inland lakes with 5bft the prop goes out in the air...</p>
<p></p>
<p>On photo's of another tiki i saw a construction where they use 2 pieces of rope to lift and lower the engine inside a box. ( they confirmed the ropes you can see where there to raise and lower the engine)</p>
<p>(<a href="http://www.tiki30-nostromo.de/">http://www.tiki30-nostromo.de/</a>)</p>
<p>I now think to get the same ft9.9 high trust longtail engine without the powertilt, but with the shorter bracket.</p>
<p>Then i must be able to lower the engine again, without the bracket hitting the water.</p>
<p>I am just not sure how easy or hard it wil be to get that neatly done.</p>
<p>Any ideas or tips?</p>
<p></p>
