[QUOTE="kfa4303, post: 330152, member: 7274"] Hi BCO. Yes, you can build a small transom riser to bring the motor to the correct height. I had to do the same thing with my '66 20hp, which is identical to your motor because it has an 18" leg, but boats of that vintage only have a 15" transom causing the motor to sit a little low in the water. Ideally, you want the anti-vent plate to be level, or slightly higher than the keel. I made my riser out of some aluminum angle and scrap lumber, but do a search here in the forums for lots of DIY jackplates and risers. [/QUOTE]
