Ray asks->I have been meaning to ask you about your A 65 motor mount.>Are you using it on the 75(85) Engine,was it destroyed?I am using the same mount, since the mounts for the A65 and A75 are exactly thesame. The mount was not damaged in the nose-over.>Did you make a new mount and did you build the jig for a new mount?Nope... no new mount, no jigs. All I've done since mounting the A75 is changedthe shimming to add downthrust and right offset, and it's made a very positivedifference in cruise trim. Mike Perez is on the right track there.>Will you be coming up I-5 on the way to Oregon? Need a place to stay, wanta ridein the Waiex?No, not coming up I-5 till I get to Mount Shasta. I'll need places to stay, butI've got the numbers (Super 8 and Motel 6). I'd love a ride in the Waiex!Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 power ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 09:07:57 -0700 (PDT)
