CD26-outboard fit question...

[JimL]

Since the 28 I was excited about turned out to be a very expensive problem boat....and it won't fit my slip anyway, I'm realizing a good 26 or 27 may be my best bet. I'm looking into a 26 that might be a nice one, and is within "shipping reach/cost" for me. Has anyone tried fitting one of the newer 4-stroke outboards in one? Any thoughts appreciated.

This bigger boat itch sure is rough on a guy.

Jim, I put a new Nissan 4 stroke in our CD25 well with no problem. The tiller handel folds back far enough to allow the cover to close completely. I cut the wooden mount down about 2" (for a short shaft) like Jon suggested. Works good. Hope this helps. The bigger boat itch is probable coming here also. PS. I've got the PVC GPS mount completed, thanks again.

Jim,

Yes, the CD26 will take the new 4-strokes. I have had a 9.9 Yamaha four stroke in my CD26 since 85 and just replaced it with a 2001 model.
