Transom Mount Pontoon Logs.
Pontoon motor transom. Transom mounted motors offer more balanced weight distribution. You could use a short shaft engine and in shallow water youd raise the engine by pulling up on the lever. I plan on using a Johnson 70 hp engine instead of the 90 which I understand is about 50 lbs lighter then a 90 engine.
I also fabricate transoms in the stern of logs to make center transom tubes for shorter boats. To make your Pontoon a Tri-toon. Or a 10 15 or 20 Center Pods are a great option They provide a much needed increase in buoyancy at the rear of the boat and more than offsets the weight of the heavier 4 stroke motors.
These motors are referred to as transom-mount motors and come equipped with a bracket that has screw clamps as shown. For the best prices on transom mount pontoon logs check out Great Lakes Skipper. If so what would be the cost19 foot Triton pontoon boat 1999 50 HP Johnson.
Trolling motors are usually mounted on two parts of the pontoon boat. With its 80 pounds of thrust this motor is suitable for boats up to 4000 lb. They are suitable for low-speed operations and an auxiliary power source.
The reality of it is you probably should be shopping for a third pontoon with an engine transom for your boat. The cat is not included. An adjustable transom was popular years ago when pontoons used 20 HP engines.
