Kraken, go with the 12 x 12 Bennett Bolt tabs. The actuator mounts at the back end of the tab (notice in NoBones' picture the actuator mounts in the middle of the tab) and the top of the actuator is 9.5" up the 13 degree transom (I'll double check that number today). That's about as low as you can go. It looks like the top mounting edge of my brother's bracket will be 26" up from the keel with no notches cut. For reference my 12" wide X 8" deep Bennett tabs the actuator is 13.5" up the transom. I'll have him post some pictures on his re-build thread.
