Hey Guys, in my seemingly never ending quest to get the most out of my little slice of heaven on water, I have an engine height question. Ok. I know from reading that I should start with the engine's anti-ventillation/cavitation plate even with the bottom of the keel. I bought this boat used and it appears to have been (if I am measuring it right) mounting from the factory at about 2 inches BELOW the keel. see pics below (dont laugh! used my daughters photobucket account!) The engine is bolted in the second hole from the top. Should I raise it to as high as it can go? That would put it 1/2 inch below the pad.. I do plan on getting a 4 or 6 inch jackplate for it later...should I just wait and only remove the motor once? How do I reseal the bolts as they go through the transom...3m 4200?
