have a 25 Merc. on a 16ft. Jon Boat.
The rubber "V" that holds the bottom of the motor allows the motor to twist to one side or the other while going down the road. I have the bar under the choke area pulled across and the lock nut tightened, but it still want to twist.

Question: What is the best angle or inches the skeg needs to be above the ground?

This motor is about 45 degree angle.

Re: Angle Of Transom Saver

you want atleast 12" clearance. you may have to tie the steering wheel, or tiller handle.
