I am going down the rabbit hole again and will be installing a new larger displacement bracket and new 250 four strokes on my 1986 27 Seacraft.
The bracket came off and she is now naked, but I am a bit unsure in my transom angle measurements.
Using the standard carpenter's square method where 1/4" equals 1 degree in transom angle, I came up with:
Port: 3.5 inches= 14 degrees
Starboard: 3.125 inches= 12.5 degrees
Using my digital angle finder against the old stainless marine bracket, I came up with 76.5", which I think equates to 13.5 degrees (am I thinking this through right)?
I then took the carpenter square and put the long end on the bracket's swim platform and the short end on the side that mounts to the transom and came up with just under 3.5 inches which would equal somewhere between 13.5 and 14 degrees ??
I need to walk away from this and clear my head. Any advice would be appreciated.
