aloha i am ready to cut out my transom hole for my 86 cobra the template
says 14 3/32" from boat bottom this would put the av plate level with the bottom,but the installation instructions recommend the av plate 3/4" from boat bottom,my question is which is better ? if i raise it it would work out because the outdrive shield would clear my drain plug,if i have to lower it ,the plug would be in the way.but if for performance reasons it is better level with the bottom then i will move the drain hole or something.im just worried about the boat ventilating if i choose to raise it the 3/4 in.
any suggestions?
