Ok friends, here is what I have. I have a 1967 freeland 16? fiberglass boat. It has a 20? transom. The motor shaft is either 18? or 19 ??. I measured form the top of the mount and also from the top of the transom to get the shaft length. The cavitation (ventation) plate is 2? above the keel. Is this going to be a problem? I am taking it out in the morning and just want to be aware of what to look for. The boat is a trihull. I am hearing that the plate is too high. If so, how do I lower it? Please keep in mind it is a tiller and if I use a setback plate I am going to have a hard time reaching the handle. Thanks for your help.
