and this is the mount for my transom saver that i got because with new motor is a little bit heaver than my old and it gives some piece of mind when im traveling to where ever i am going fishing
there it is mostly mounted the two bolts on top that go thought the motor were not but on in this photo because i needed to get longer ones but they are in now
this is a bad pic looks like they are not on straight but they were i checked about 4 or 5 time
we then took the wood and trimmed down the sides so we could get to the bolt heads with a wrench, and because i set it at an angle it made the bolt even more excusable
here is what did and feel free to ask any other questions if you are looking to make your self a jack plate.
going to be going out on the water Tuesday to test it out
3 ea 3/4in ply laminated together
4x4in aluminum angle x2 @ 10in and x2 @ 12in
I put the two 10in pieces and mounted...
the way that my transom is set up there is really no way for my to re-build it / build it higher that is why im going to the Jack plat wich im am going to try and get done today pic soon to come !
so how far do you all think that i should move the motor up
sorry for the not so good pic did the best i could, i think i need to move it up 6in but i am not sure that i was measuring it from the right spot or not
so this is my next thing i need to make need my self a jack plate
