Okay, now that I have fixed my 1978 55hp evinrude I just picked up a month ago, which consided of replacing the rectifier, hose, coil, seal behind fuel pump, and plugs. <br /> On the weekend I added part of the transom that was cut out(by previous owner) to accomidate the short shaft 75hp that was put on the 16' Winner boat. Well, after I finished fiberglassing it I made the mistake of building up the fiberglass a bit too much. Now the motor rests on the top of the transom instead of the clamp going over the transom. <br /> The anticavitation plate is right at the bottom of the transom( maybe 1/8-1/4" below it). I heard that it should be 1-2" below the transom. I also heard it should be 1- 1 1/2" above the transom. <br /> Any comments on this I would appreciate. I have not been able to take the boat out yet to test it.
