I would like to put this motor on an older boat. What width "splash well" is needed so the front of the motor can turn back and forth w/o hitting anything?

If my well is more narrow than optimum, what is the minimum width required to maintain manueverability at slow speed or idle?

Has anyone modified their splash wells to take care of a problem like this?

You can see that I really want this motor. Thanks for your help.
