you can also build a transom elevator. that where you use aluminum angle, 4 pieces 1 inside 1 outside each side of motor, then sandwich a 2x6 between them.. this is usually for 20hp and below.
Yes, I know that I would need additional bolts to secure it to the transom. The pictures shows the elevated transom plate just placed on the transom for some pics. It now has a place in my basement until I get rid of it. Anybody ??
