I have a 1985 19' BR with I/O Mercruiser 305 engine, alpha one. I want to get rid of my small swim step and put on a full swim platform. My question is how much clearance do I need over the tom of the outdrive (when raised full, of course)? What i'm wondering about is and servie work i may need to do that may require some space above the outdrive. I can't think of any off hand, but I'm new to this.
Thanks.
It will be a teak swim platform, btw. I plan to buy a used one and refinish it. Finding one with a somewhat similar contour or one that has enough wood width to cut a contour is important, i assume.
