2012 150 Super Sport, get home motor bracket?

HI,
First post since registering yesterday. We're looking for a motor bracket to install on our 2012 150 Super Sport to be used with a Yamaha 2.5 hp as a get home motor and probably trolling. I've searched this site and only found one made by Tanner in Bellingham but they don't make brackets anymore. The problem is the cutout for the Honda 60 isn't very wide, not enough to clamp on a little motor. If you know that it is possible please let me know.

There's room on the transom to mount a bracket but due to the stern corner molded in seats, access to the bolts from the cockpit is restricted. I'd prefer not to cut access ports into those seats.

Any suggestions for a bracket, a way to install it so as not to interfere with the main motor or maybe an offset bracket that could bolt on next to the main motor but be angled to the side for the little one? Is there some kind of bracket that clamps onto the top of the transom so no holes will need to be drilled that's large enough to fit over the rub rail and narrow transom deck?

Final, questions, I found this "New Thread" page by searching online. How to I reach this point where I can make a post from within Whaler Central? Is there a way to preview my photos added to the posts in Preview or do I have to wait till my post is published? Should I ask these questions to the website managers? If so, how?

Thanks.

It is extremely rare for a kicker to be installed on a hull that small.

There really isn't much of an area to install a bracket.

The prevailing advice is to invest in a Sea Tow subscription if your concerned about getting home.

Not sure how you can through bolt a bracket either.

Thanks Joe, I'll look for the info you mentioned.

Thanks Phil, yes, there's not much room for a bracket. The boat gets used in an area without any kind of towing service as far as I know.

Guess I'll have to keep looking.

Thanks.

Hey Phil,
I checked into a towing outfit in the area where the boat is used and sure enough, there was one! Thanks for the suggestion.
