[QUOTE="richg99, post: 250408, member: 4376"] You have a couple of options..... Offer to swap your long shaft for a short shaft. Since long shafts are often more in demand, that could work out well, though I'd have the short shaft motor reviewed by a competent mechanic before finalizing a deal. Build up your transom to hold the long shaft. Add a set-back plate to add height (this is the solution that worked on my 16 Carolina Skiff, though it was in place before I bought the boat.) The set back plate allows me to run shallower than without it. Personally, if I had a good running older motor, I'd want to keep it ....if I could find a way. regards, R [/QUOTE]
