Merry Fisher 755 extra's

Fantastic, that helps a great deal, last question, did u put a steel plate on the inside of the transom or just use bolt and washers through the bracket and into the hull, I’ve spent hours searching for a pic of a 755 with an auxiliary mounted so see if it fits and works with no luck so thanks again

No problem and feel free to ask anything, I’ve had the boat from new for 3 years and have added a number of things so ask away.
Regarding the mounting of the bracket, if you look at the first picture you will see an inspection hatch that was added just inside the resess next to the engine, that allowed full access to the area of the transom where the bracket was added. It was a full plate that was added to spread the load and as you’d expect the weight of a 6hp and you bashing through the waves does mean it can take a battering so in my opinion a plate would be worth doing rather than just washers. The dealer did the install but showed me what they were doing albeit the work was done before they installed the main engine which did make it easier. Thankfully never needed the auxiliary as the engine has never missed a beat but given where some of my cruising is I wouldn’t be happy without that back-up even just to keep me off the rocks until help arrived.

Ah, I did notice you had an inspection hatch, which I don't have , so thats that explained, I assumed access would be gained through the Tank Space , but to be honest haven't looked close enough , but a Hatch seems a relatively easy fix,/mod , a tight squeeze with the main engine installed, but sure I'm sure that would be possible. and a plate makes much more sense.

Hi! I'm new to the forum and this tread caught my eyes during my browsing for fellow 755 owners. Can't believe there are 1000 sold boats and still this little information online. However, I bought my boat very standard since I prefer to install gadgets myself. I have installed the eber d4+ heater which I would say is a perfect match. I have a total of 6 outlets; one forward, one in the toilet, one at the windscreen, one aft in the cabin and two outside on the aft of the cabin for warming my hands when fishing I decided to mount the heater inside under the sink after advice from the manufacturer. This is mainly because you otherwise have to mount it next to the petrol tank which may result in a big fancy fire. If mounted inside, it's wise to also mount a gas alarm that detects exhaust gasses. The diesel tank for the heater is mounted next to the petrol tank. If you provide me with an email address I could send some pictures from my install. Since I didn't choose any extras from factory, I have also installed a fridge, extra batteries, inverter, stereo, shore power, trim tabs, sounder and various other small improvements. I haven't fitted my anchorwinch yet since I first have to manufacture a suitable plate to mount it on. Would be nice to hear from others with suitable upgrades!

Hi,
If you are still on here can you possibly post some pics of your heating install? Hoping to add this to my 755 this year.
Cheers
