Interesting idea that's a bit more robust than my nail polish and acrylic epoxy :)
Would need to take out any rubber components (o rings etc) I assume.
Boat is a ~ 1988 build and engine is a 2004 model. I've had it moored in salt water since 2015. I've resigned myself to replacing the endcaps each year - that's the only real issue I have.
This main problem I have is that the aluminum endcaps get eaten away at the edges and if I leave it too long (a few years) it will eat right through and water can get in.
I'm not sure if it is electrolysis generated by the leg bouncing in and out of the water. My anodes are fine and I cannot...
Thanks for the reply. Hydraulic jack plates might be 50% of the cost motor so I don't think I'll go down that path. I think I have found some good information on where it really should be placed and maybe I can get 2-3" out of it. That would be enough as I just need to raise it just a tiny bit.
Hi folks, I need to check the viability of raising my outboard about 6" higher (By simply removing and remounting from top to bottom bolts on transom bracket)
I want to do this so I can get the trim rams out of the water as this boat is on a mooring all of the time.
Hopefully there is enough in...
