That is what I'm hoping to do. I have a MK slide mount on the boat and bought an extra top base. A buddy of mine has an extra TM with both being on the slide bases and has offered his extra to get me going should mine fail. I recently had a wire come loose on the boat and it almost cost me a 4 person trip when the TM wouldn't run. Luckily they wanted to pull cranks and my Suzuki 4 stroke saved the day.
