That's a really stout looking bracket! Any idea what it weighs after all the trimming?
I think you'll want to mount it as low as possible to get maximum flotation at rest. I think Don Herman mounted mine so bottom of tub is about 4" above keel. Motor AV plate is 3.5" above keel in attached pic. We redrilled the holes to raise it another inch, but it still needs to come up about another inch, because AV plate is still under water when up on plane, so keep that in mind when you drill motor mount holes. I need to make an adapter/spacer plate because lower bolts will interfere with the swim platform if I raised them another inch!
