I am restoring a 20 ft CC with a 24" transom and would like to mount my 20" Evinrude on it. My thoughts are:
1. Mount a Jackplate with a 10" setback, 4" lower on the transom. Will this interfere with a full tilt up? I have to get new control and steering cables anyway.
2. Get an shaft extension for the OB. This is pretty pricey and involves head removel/new shaft/drilling out shaft hole according to Baymfg.
3. Since I'm doing a Seacast transom rebuild anyway, notch out the transom for 20" shaft.
I'd appreciate any comments or ideas.
Thanks

Jackplate works fer me. A 10" set back should give you some room for tilt but you should build a motor stand and do some measuring to ensure it gives you what you want.


I'm just sayin...:D
