I mounted my 8 hp Tohatsu to the port side directly to the transom of my 1989 Outrage 18. The bad news is the transom was about 1 / 16 of an inch too thick. So I took the clamp disks off and grinded the high spots on the motor bracket. Then I hammered the washer like disks to make them flat and reinstalled them which gave me enough clearance to fit over the transom. Works great. You should mount your engine to the transom if at all possible.
