[QUOTE="Insanity, post: 385958, member: 14077"] So I have a 12 V bottom and a 7.5 Mercury motor. The tiller handle is to close to my seat and the motor is over an inch low might be two. It's currently at shop. I just got the motor and haven't ran it yet. But I'm thinking about building a Jack plate to set it back and up some. Question being how far back would I want it for best performance. 4 inches I think would still be comfortable to reach the tiller. I'd assum farther is better but is that true for such a small motor? Is there a reason to keep it closer to the boat? And if you've got pics of any home made ones I'd love to see them. Seen a really nice thick one on here last week but can't find it again to save my life. [/QUOTE]
