[h=4]1983 universal 3 point motor mount

On Sketcher I have the Universal (Kaboto) 3 cylinder motor. It has that 3 point motor mount system.
Sketcher is a 1983 35-3 style.

The front mount can not tighten on to the fiberglass with the lag bolts. I can fill the two holes with resin and re-bore....but.
Would like to go for the 4 mount system.

Has anyone done this and can the parts be bought?

Might be good to consider combining with this existing thread.

Stanley at Beta Marine is close to me, when he returns from a show...will talk with him also.

I met Stanley at the Chicago boat show. He was the one who suggested that I convert to 4 mounts. He's a wealth of information , you're lucky to have him close.

Very lucky to have Stanley close by.

Years ago (before Beta) he would come by and give advise. His saying...."keep it simple".
