[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 443594, member: 3278"] [size=5]Of no concern at all. Sitting "flush" on the transom only means the top of the transom takes a bit more of the engine weight which is basically a non-issue. The Thrust load of the engine is the main concern. A bunch more thrust is created than engine weight. Make sure you have a soft surface on the rear of the transom for the brackets do dig into and that your clamp screws are tight. If the brackets are designed with screw holes so that you can drill through the transom and secure the engine then do that as well. [/size] [/QUOTE]
