Take it up to the top then go down if needed imho. Your bracket's about the same as mine and mounted about the same. I have no tabs. Your motor weighs about what mine does. Sometimes I feel like it could go up a couple more holes if they existed. I wish I had a little shorter bracket and a Jackplate, but not till my transom needs redoing.
