Hello all,
Hoping to get some help with this task. I need to mount a 9.9 engine on the back of my 36' union Polaris. Since its a doubled-ended cutter the stern is of course not a flat surface. Would love any advice or tips on this scenario. Below you will see some photos of the stern. Trying to avoid drilling as many new holes as possible. This would only be something temporary until I can fix the engine. But I need to do a buoy run.

I have a 34 ft Pacific Seacraft, and years ago had a similar problem. I ran a piece of 3" aluminum channel from the upper stern rail nearly to the water. with the flanges facing forward. It was clamped to the stern rail at the top and secured to the dinghy towing eye which passed through a slot cut in the center of the channel with a wedge. Two plates a foot or so above the water were bolted one on each side to the channel flanges. They extended aft and were each bolted to short lengths of angle that were both in turn bolted to the outboard motor mount to which our 8 hp Nissan was clamped.

Now, it's been 10 years or so, and this is by memory. It's been under the port settee since. Out of sight and mind.

Ah yeah I wish I could see an image of it!
