[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 385839, member: 7376"] To do it right, yes, you'd install the PT&T motor as an assembly to your motor. Also get the wiring and switches and relay(s). I have never done a Mercury, but I have done a couple Yamaha's. One of the things I ran into was that PT&T motors had a different clamp bracket and swivel bracket-which adds significant cost to convert them. That is in addition to the already expensive PT&T assembly and the wiring harness/relay and switches. The CMC is cheaper usually, but as you mentioned moves the motor back about 5.5". Never messed with tunnel hull, but on a normal semi-v or flat bottom, moving the motor back also allows one to move it UP an inch or so, which helps greatly in shallow water. [/QUOTE]
