Can anyone who has installed the trolling plate with hydrofoil say if it fits on 1999 Mercrusier outdrive -Gen II? And how easy is it to install?

im not 100% sure on your answer, but it will work on the alpha 1 so it should work for you on the gen 11.

Yes, it will git your 1999 Mercruiser. Here is the link to the installation instructions for a more detail look what it takes to install the EasyTroller: http://www.ironwoodpacific.com/Shared/resources/boating/trolling_plates/EasyTroller%20Instructions%200710.pdf .

I'd say the HXRMC 2000u is too big for this rig. You'd need a larger mounting plate, and some much longer rods.

I do not have the same machine as you, but I can share my experience. Let me start by saying I am very thorough and I mounted mine on a CanAm outlander. I was not satisfied with the original Kolpin mounting kit, only using 2 of the clamps and one of the radius fittings, which I modified as welded onto the Kolpin muffler. I fabricated an additional rubberized mount that I connected to my rear grab bar. I did not install their heat-shield. These changes seem to work well for my use. In my opinion, their mounting kit is light duty and not intended for heavy use. Best of luck

If it helps, I agree with the first answer. I pulled out my old one and compared it to the new one before I was sure. The float arm was adjustable for different tank depths. Its the bolt hole spacing and clearance to the tank wall that could be problem. It fit well in my 1989 StarCraft 18ft Superfisherman.

This should work with all outboards. The pump comes with 2 fittings: one fits the larger standard size threads like the OMC products used and the other fits the Yamaha line which uses the smaller plugs. I am not aware of any other plug sizes. Yes, this should fit your merc.

by all means get the standard plate. the short plate is for smaller outboards. the easy troller is the best plate out there.

In order to install a small trolling motor (which is the max that would be possible..), you would have to modify the stern to include an engine mount. None is included on the craft from the manufacturer.

Yuppers like a charm. When you pull the stock one off. Ther is going be a mesh-like fitting that wont allow you to putt new exhaust on. JUst wiggle that off and your good to go. It will have you drill a small hole for a pin that will hold it in place. But other than that. It is extremely easy to install. About 15 mins for me. Hope this helps.

Hi Roger, I installed this to my 2000 125 Mercury outboard and it works great. You can go to their website to find out if yours fits this (or call them to have their tech support answering your questions). Good luck and have fun. hope this helps. JML

mine had a steel gear with a plastic bendix drive! same as the original! had to do slight modification to mounting surface were it meets the block to fit totally flat!

I installed this plate on my 87 wrangler with a super winch 9500# and everything lined up perfect. If that helps? Any winch should mount to it.

The metal plate referenced by another post does indeed exist. I considered buying an aftermarket sender to install, but opted on an underdeck model with the sender already installed. I love it, by the way, and it is also a Moeller.

What outdrive do you have? Mine is a Volvo-Penta SX and the install was a snap. Once installed the easy troller has no effect on the engine.

I'm pretty sure it will. I took one off a Merc outdrive and installed it on a 70 Hp Evinrude outboard. It's a pretty universal fit, like the Dolfins. Get the one with hinged plate, it costs a few bucks more but if you forget it one time or it self deploys in rough weather you will trash it when you take off. Experience speaking here, I have them on two boats now, a 21' aluminum and a 27' Cabin Cruiser. It will pull both down to .5 mph or less into the wind. I troll Lake Erie and they work great. Buy it from amazon, any problems and they fix it. Ray

No. What I did was took this piece and inserted it into the original piece. Cut a piece of sheetmetal and drilled the center hole to fit water fitting. Siliconed the flange, and screwed the new flange thru the old one and caught the sheetmetal. Done. Sounds like its hard. Took me 1/2 hour.

I have it on mine however you need mounting brackets that will attach where the foot pedals bolt on. From those this mount bolts right on. Love it so far. My atv came with the plates though. No idea where to get them. Could always fabricate some. I plan to get copies made of mine due to them being so old. If you have any questions reach out to me. I will gladly show pictures of what it looks like.

It is doubtfull this kit that is designed for a Mercruiser 5.7L Alpha I Drive will work with an 1987 Mercury outdrive. Most likely the 1987 is a Bravo drive. I would suggest checking with Mercury and determining exactly what outdrive is in the 1987 Sea Ray.
