The simplest explanation is when you mount twins they are higher than a single of the same shaft length because of the boats vee so they aren't too low and lose performance and create drag etc. As you go out from the centerline you have to go up with the motor/s. If you want to install a single on the bracket mounted at the twin engine heighth you will have to get a 30" shaft length motor. If you want to use one of your existing motors you can buy spacer/extension kits for most motors.

First of all-
Thanks for the replys everyone........So, the fact is that the height of the powerhead on a 25" motor on a single motor bracket would be lower because of being at the bottom of the "V" of the boat. The one variable not mentioned is the height of the bracket or does that not change? If it does change, then the twin bracket cannot be lowered as low on the transom as the single bracket due to being too wide to keep the tub of the bracket too close to the bottom of the boat. So, that causes the 25"motor to only work on the single motor bracket. Sound correct??
