[QUOTE="riverbud55, post: 404250, member: 873"] Did some research when I built my jack plate and found that people had problems with more/excessive bow rise on small tiller boats when they added a jack plate with much of any setback,,, moving the motor back moves it further from the center of the boat putting more load on the rear, then add that your body has to reach further back to reach the tiller just adds more weight to the rear, also depending on how long the handle is on your tiller and your boats seat location may make a little harder to reach,,,,,, may be bs but made sense at the time and still does to a point, ,,, any thoughts????? here is what I did on my G3 with a 15'' transom with a long shaft e tec [/QUOTE]
