Circa four years ago. Found a bracket in the USA. Cost including post circa 90 euro. Cost new 265 euro plus post.

Good result anyways......TSM I would definitely put something like on my Rib to fill the gap between the engine and transom 👍

The bracket is slightly different from the one wilk found. I agree that the bracket probably broke as a result of vibration or flex which was probably introduced when the engine was raised by one hole.i have the old bracket nearly removed. Circa one hour e work. The etec is difficult to lift as there is no lifting eye in the engine. Another hour should put the engine back together.

You will have to lift you engine.

Hey that's an idea .
I'll try again will the filler peice have to be physically fastened to the top of the transom and if so how

Yes, ideally it should be screwed and laminated on

Osprey Ribs

If ye raise an engine, do you pack the area between the transome and the saddle?

Mine is screwed on to the top of the transom using sika on the screws and it has not budged .... mind you some people on here would say neither has my rib

Do we believe that a packer is "necessary"? I'm not convinced it should actually be bearing any real load...

Not really sure Poly but LPB'S insisted that it would be better to fit one on mine when it was fixed, but I guess that there are a lot of ribs out there that have raised their engines up an inch or two without being packed for sure.

I believe that vibration could be the problem rather than the transfer of trust to the transom

hmm to pack or not to pack.so a piece of timber sika and screwed down into the transom is the idea .it looks like mine needs raising a little more

I wouldn't use timber beerbelly veneered chipboard would be much better 😉👍

the starboard saddle/ stern bracket arrived yesterday. perfect condition. I am no looking for a port bracket as it is warped/ twisted. I did not think that cast metal could twist/ warp/ strain.

i have been looking at jack up plates now these seem to be ok but i cant see how the saddle is a tight fit over one of these.if its so important that the saddle is resting on the transom how come a jack up plate is ok when the only point of contact is where the bolts pass through.or am i missing something
