[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 155716, member: 1523"] Perch, as long as the prop is below the boat I can't see how a taller motor is going to push the nose down :?: We do it all the time for jet installs. Depending on your transom thickness you just add a 2x6 on top of the existing transom and bend a 1/8" peice of aluminum around it in a 'U' shape (upside down of course) Drop the legs 2/3 the way down the transom and through bolt with stainless 3/8 bolts, washers and locking nuts. Depending on how strong your existing transom is you may have to add additional angle supports. I'd try to trade around for a short shaft or get a rebuilt powerhead for your existing engine.
