hi, on the SR4's i have had in the past , always mounted on the centre line and had no problem, you do realise that the max HP on a SR4 is 50 hp.

I had a Yam 55 on mine and it went fine, just inform your insurance to make sure they're happy?
Had mine in the centre.

I assume by sock you mean a drain trunk? if so, no......
.....unless you are ftting twins, in which case the drain sock needs to be centre on the transom to fit between the engines!

as Chewy said, MAKE SURE the insurance company are happy, as fitting it and not telling them could leave you wide open to all sorts of problems if god forbid you hit something / injured some one, better to be safe than sorry.

I am not sure, but I believe that the old Yammies are not measured at the prop. So there is a 10% loss in HP... so you still have a 50 Hp

I assume it is an older model, since they don't make them any more.

Won't matter to the insurance company, bit like saying its lost ex amount of hp over the last 20 years so its actually only a 40hp.
