Default Re: Transom Bracket - twin outboards

What I found is boats with flatter deadrises are closer to 2" per foot of setback, and boats with deeper deadrises are closer to 3", but it really comes down to having someone driving, and someone looking at the cavitation plate when your running. . .
I think you're right, John. Mine is at 3.5" with 30" setback.


It handles great but could probably go a little higher because cavitation plate is still slightly under water at typical cruise conditions. Motor is already at max height however, so I'd have to redrill the mount holes to go higher. Don't know how much higher I could drill the holes on this bracket.
