Am in the process of putting a 1968 55hp Johnson on a 1978 TideCraft, my question is this: How do I determine the height of the motor? Sitting on the transom, the centerline of the prop is 8" below the hull, is this close?<br />Thanks
Hi, Greg.<br /><br />The anti-ventilations plate (horizontal plate above the prop) should be even with, to an inch or so above, the level of the keel.<br /><br />Good luck.
JB,<br />Thanks for the info, as it sits now, mine is 1 inch below the keel. Do I need to put on a transom jack or can I just mount it higher with the brackets it's got? I have not drilled any holes yet.<br />Thanks again.
