Thread: Fitting a tenob auxiliary bracket

Any tips on how to attach one to a 4.6m fyran,which bolt material,do I need to glue as well as bolt,left or right side of main motor? Thanks

Use 316 stainless bolts and seal under bracket with bostik seal n flex poly urethane sealant , silicone will fail either side , up to you may opp fuel tank for balance .

Make sure the aux cannot restrict full lock of main.
Consider extra bearing plates inside and outside transom both of which are larger than the area of the tenob mounting bolts. I use heavy marine ply or 5+mn alum plate.
Stainless bolts and locknuts.

Will be running a 9.8 tohatsu as auxiliary,nice and light at 27kg,extra plates sounds like a good idea.

Mauser has it. Starboard side etc, do you want to link it to the big outboard to be able to steer from helm? Like Allgood mentioned . Running a seperate earth wire to smooth out dissimilar currents running through the plate is a solid help. Again, yep sika 291 is great, use plenty between the dissimilar metals this will help reduce the chances/ slow down any electrolysis. 316 stainless bolts and hardware is ideal. But personally from seeing dozens of second hand ali boats come in with corrosion issues, fresh water could have saved it. Fresh water fresh water fresh water, and abit of soapy carwash thrown in a bucket and brushed over the boat goes an extra step further and is worth it imo. And people leaving shit like pliers, hooks, sinkers, crescents etc on the floors or in pockets to sit while the boat is in storage or getting 'lost' under the marine carpet and sitting there slowly but surely plotting to punch a hole through your boat.

a tuna tube fits perfectly inside those if its the retractable types

usually we just lock the AUX motor so it pushes directly forward and use the main motor as a rudder to steer the boat

Yea thinking that would work.

The linkage on my main motor is on the boarding ladder side, so it may be easier fitting to the other side and using the main as a rudder idea. Although I don't know how it would go coming in over the bar like that.

even with a 9.9hp fourstroke on my dads 5.7 ramco the speed you get is about walking pace
iv had my main motor (on my old boat) go into limp mode and limit the revs to fuck all
it ment that we needed to cross paua harbour bar at that walking pace in the dark
my brother near had a mental break down. but I had a plan and the boat performed beautifully so everything went smoothly

and people wonder why I love pontoon boats so much
