- get a jack plate (can't afford hydraulic so it would be manual if ever)
Can anyone offer anymore advice or specifics about these or other solutions?
Thanks!
The only reason I mention an adjustable pack plate is it makes raising ande lowering the engine real easy and you don't have to ever reseal the engine mount bolts. A 4" adjustable one can be had for less than the cost some dealers charge to remount the engine. However once mounted properly, most people will never need to change engine height again. But proper engine height, prop, and trim is critical for maximum performance.
