Hi Paul,

this sounds like a good solution. Glassing in the iron sounds like more than 
I want to get into this season though, with everything else that must be done 
before I can sail. I think this year I will just replace the missing mount, 
but will consider this more permanent, and better, engine mounting system 
next year.
