Motor Length / Transom Length
Boat is a 1985 23 Sceptre. This is really pretty basic so I'll apologize in advance...I bought a new 225 Johnson / Suzuki last year and have been trying to get it dialed in right. Its a 25 inch shaft. The measurement from the lip of the transom where the engine mounts to the bottom of the Vee is 27 inches. The cavitation plate above the prop sits about 2 inches higher than the bottom of the vee. Should I have bought a 30 inch motor. The boat is a 1985. Was the 25 inch transom standard then? Were 30 inch motors even available then?
Thanks
