Outboard Motor Mounts for Ranger Tug R23

[robbinrh]

Could someone rcommend a brand and type of outboard motor mount for a Ranger Tug R23? I expect to mount a 6 or 9.9 hp Yamaha.

I submitted the question how to remove that plastic plate on the port side swim platform where the kicker engine mount would be located but got no information back from anyone. I ended up getting a small Honda 2.3 for my inflatable (no trolling or emergancy use) that have on a rail-mount above the swim platform. This works well for me and meets my needs. I know the mount would support a 6 or 9.9 but the shafts on those larger outboards might be too long and might hit the swim platform.

I wondered about that plate and assumed it was intended either as a motor mount itself or a place to install a mount, but haven't seen anything on that.
