Replacing the riptide SM with a Riptide ST iPilot on my SeaFox 200XT. Anyone else have problem of getting close to centerline because of the way the mount hangs over the side. Had no problem with the SM and quick release bracket. Any pics of how you got yours mounted even it its different make of boat would help me.

I have a 1966DLX G3 that I mounted a Riptide ST with a quick release bracket and I will send you some pics of my mount or try to post.

I used the bracket the motor is slightly off center and doesn't effect performamce as far as I can tell

Thanks
Was trying to mount so if it was stowed it kept the front deck clear. The SM stowed run parallel to the port side. Looks like the ST is gonna take a different angle and run across the front deck. The mounting frame footprint is a lot smaller and because of the shaft roller and gearbox clearance has to be mounted closer to the edge.
