This looks like a Gudgeon used for mounting an external rudder on a J22 or J24. Check out the Rig Rite site at https://www.rigrite.com/Hardware/Rudder_Hardware/Pintles&Gudgeons.php#Standard%20Gudgeons

HI,

I have a similar issue. The motor mount shown is the actual mount. Not the bracket. Shown is my boat's torn bracket.

Shipyard shops near me wanted to weld on the spot which I thought would be a disaster for a glass boat.

I opted to purchase a whole new motor mount from Ensign Spars. Nice new equipment, but the new brackets included are single bold only. Current brackets have 2 bolts. This leads to a problem as it's not a 1-1 replacement as a strategy needs to be developed for minimizing holes.

Soooo....Does anyone have extra 2 hole brackets for a similar mount?

And...on another motor mount note. My motor mount slipped out of the brackets a few seasons ago, ...with the motor which had a poorly adjusted reverse tiller lock out of the box. Motor and mount both went into the drink. Afterwards I had a locking hole and pin put in the bottom post of the mount. I suggested a change to Ensign Spars and lo and behold, the one I received as new has the change and includes a locking pin.

Any help with 2 hole brackets or a strategy for minimizing stern holes/damage on replacing dual bolts with single bolt brackets is appreciated.

Regards,

Rob

I will also pursue that. Thanks.

My current bracket has a crack in the metal and either I’m going to try and get it repaired or find an old one that the metal is in good condition.  I will also replace the wood. 

Does anyone have an old engine bracket like the one shown in the attachment that they no longer need? I am trying to replace mine. Thanks, Mike
