Re: Bracket mounting question
Hmmm....John when you say the "Lip" do you mean the engine mount on the bracket??
Dont forget the rate of rise (water coming off the bottom of the boat) will also effect the height equation here. The engine on a bracket with a setback of 24-29 inches already will need to be mounted about 2- 4" higher than its equivalent mounted on the transom. A Float bracket built for a 25" shaft could be moved up the transom higher but then you lose the effects of floatation chamber. Don’t forget that many float brackets used the transom to seal the bracket so you could not go above the notch anyway.
Is there a reason why you would not close the transom??
Maybe I misread your question.....
