Re: Transom Elevator
this plate that i made will handle your 50 with no problems, it only has a 3 inch set back, and actually improved the preformance of the boat, as i had, had a 71 50hp short shaft on the boat. the 40 is almost 2-3 mph as fast as the 50 was. it cost me $50 for the fabricator to make the aluminum, and i used some scrap 1/2" exterior ply for the mount. 3 layers glued up, the 2 outer layers grain turned crosswise, the middle vertical, add a lot of strength. then paint oil base 3 coats.
