Default Re: engine on center stringer

If you move the transom assembly up, you also elevate the ventilation/cavitation plate on the lower unit. You need to check that data, too, to make sure you won't ventilate the prop in rough water or in turns should you go that route. Sometimes raising the transom group just won't work.
