[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 431075, member: 15266"] I know two guys that have used them to lower their motors and have had no issues. As long as the motor can swing both ways without hitting there will not be a problem. A smaller engine like this should not have any issues. Also, the 4" set back will likely allow him to keep the motor at the same height, as the water "lifts" past the transom. He could at that point add a short extension arm to the tiller handle. That being said, I have had "whale tails" on tiller motors and not been happy with them. It really takes from the agility of the tiller. It also makes sharp turns harder because the boat doesn't lean into the turn as easily. Just my opinion on the matter, and another suggestion. [/QUOTE]
