    Query about raising outboard 6" on transom

    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.

    Query about raising outboard 6" on transom

    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...
