Default Re: How to install my new bracket.

It kinda depends on how your bracket is constructed. Is it a positive flotation bracket? does it have a swim platform? If so you will mount it as low as possible to gain maximum flotation while still allowing the swim platform to remain above water. Usually the keel of the bracket sits about 3-5 inches above the keel of the boat. On my 23 the anticavitation plate of the motor was 4.5 inches above the keel of the boat. Just make sure that you allow yourself enough room to move the motor up on the bracket if you have to.
