[QUOTE="MtnDew, post: 307142, member: 10632"] still worried a bit about the weight .. adding 55lbs to the transom is going to sink it a bit.. have to go out tomorrow and put some weight in the back to see. The picture above with me leaning over the motor was when I had the trolling motor bat in the back, so that is like adding 60lbs .. the water was closer than I would like especially when the waves pick up a bit. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK getting a 20" shaft motor and closing my transom up so I will have more protection from water swamping in the rear of the boat ? maybe thinking of a mini jack plate and then use clear plexi to fill in the gaps and keep the water out. -rob [/QUOTE]
