    motor height setup - mini-jacker install. Looking for speed!

    It didn't flex. If your transom flexes you need to fix that. I had to lower it down a bit 'cause the prop slipped too much. I don't have pictures, but iirc I lowered it 2 holes.

    Here are the pics of the thing all bolted up. Here you can see a shim and why it was needed.

    motor height setup - mini-jacker install. Looking for speed!

    I finally got the $@#&*! mounted! Some projects go smoothly with everything falling in to place, and this was not one of them. Finding the SS hardward to mount it was tough and very expensive. I spent over $50 at lowes for the bolts, nuts and washers. I painted the plywood insert that came...

    Now sporting 3 batteries in the boat...

    Performance prop for 25+ hp outboards! Merc Spitfire

    I'm thinking of trying a Solas Amita 4 blade prop on mine. They're just a little more expensive and should have more bite. I want to run my motor as shallow as I can get away with. Anyone here try one?

    Should be just fine. Just disconnect and charge them seperatly is the main thing. What's your setup for trolling for bass? I've been thinging of trying that myself but I've never really trolled before.

    Now sporting 3 batteries in the boat...
