Default Re: Bracket vs hull extension vs stretch????

Quote:
what is the minimum amount of extension that can be added to get motor clearance with a bracket on an full transom? Your standard brackets are 30", is that for flotation or to give motor clearance? At what shortness do you have clearance problems? I'd like to build to fit all the current motors, but am planning on Zuke 140/Etec 150 because of weight.
30 inches is for the big V-8's. I believe 27-28 for a zuke 140. Decide what kind of engine you want and then look up the specs for that motor in full tilted up position and then Bingo you have your minimum extension needed. Add another inch or two to be safe
