Default Re: transom/engine question

Most brackets are made for 25" shafts. Normal formula for mounting on brackets is, starting with cav plate flush with bottom of hull for non-bracket mount, raise motor 1" for each 12" of setback. That's still just a starting point, as I was able to raise mine 2 holes from there.

A bracket also spreads engine load across entire transom, instead of concentrating all the load in the center like a conventional mount does.
