[QUOTE="doodlebug, post: 404237, member: 20465"] Hi folks, new person here with a question. I've got an open Jon Boat with a short transom that I want to run a 20 horse Merc with a long shaft. The person I bought the boat from had rigged up a piece of wood to elevate the motor. It was real flimsy and dangerous I thought. I've been looking at a mini jack plate to install and mount the motor on that would raise the motor 3 inches. By my calculations that would put the cavitation plate about an inch above the bottom of the boat. Do you folks think that would be ok? Appreciate your recommendations and any ideas you might want to provide. Thanks [/QUOTE]
