[QUOTE="possom813, post: 203957, member: 5773"] My motor is too short. It measures 18 inches from the hanger bracket to the cavitation plate. The transom is 20 inches. I need to get the motor lower, and I don't really have the budget to make something amazing. The transom is solid, and new, and 1 7/8 inches, and covered in fiberglass. It's tall in the middle and drops off about 3 inches on the outside edges. Can I just trim out a motor spot in the middle of about 3-4 inches and make it look pretty and it not hurt anything? This is the only pic I have of the transom right now, no wood installed, the lip is flipped up, but it goes straight across at the peak of the two inclines.
