Crossing the brand name line

Just installed a ul-1 motor in one of my stilletto outboards. Motor and mount holes are a tad off. Start all 4 screws, and alternate tightening them a few turn each until tight. It fits, just a little snug! Also picked up some hyperformance flex cables that look much better and straighter than the stockers. Slightly longer than stock, so the motor coupler has to slide all the way up the motor shaft. It looks like a good fit as well.

I was considering those too. I thought I read somewhere that they were actually less than 1800kv. Plus I had issues with the endbell coming loose on my old sv, so I decided against them. Thanks for the info on the sale though!!

If I remember correctly it was Darrin that tested these and he said they were in the 1500kv range. That's probably why these things can swing a good sized prop.

Yah, its actually posted that way in the ose store.

i got the new motor and as usuall the holes dont line up on the ul-1 motor tryed all the different combos....so its held in with only 2 bolts ...hope it holds lol.....any suggestions? read forscott's thread about being a little off but mine seemed a lot off

[Diegoboy]

Hmmm... mine llined right up, no issues...
...but 2 bolts are all I ever use

[ron1950]

cool glad to hear it...did all 4 line up? i tryed it every way i could and only 2 holes ever got even close to lining up......

[Diegoboy]

Just a perspective, do you use all four bolt holes when you mount your motor in a cat, hydro, or Vee?
Only 2 ever line up for me, I have really never tried to use all 4. I don't remember if the stock motor used all 4 holes or not.

sounds good to me diego.....only use 2 screews in my tc-5 car motors so guess we are good to go...i dont have the experence u do at all in boats

[Diegoboy]

I really can't remember how many screws were holding the stock motor. Can anyone remember how many?

Stock is 4, other motors are 2 screws.

wonder why everyone says just bolt it right to the stock mount....i know i am too dumb to figure it out only got 2 screws to line up lol

Some motors don't have a symmetrical bolt patterns. Not sure about the AQ motor.
