Transom Addition for 25" Shaft Length

[VitaminSea]

I have recently updated the power on my old 23 SF from twin 85 horse Johnsons' to new Yamaha F115's. The only issue was to either stick with the original 20 inch shafts or go with 25 inch shaft length. I chose the 25 b/c of the counter rotation. My new problem is that I have the motors mounted all the way up on the transom and they are about a inch and a half too long below where they should be. I recently came across a older Key West with the same problem, but Key West sells a bolt on bracket that raises the motors to the correct height. It basically utilizes the original bolt pattern and does not require any wood or fiberglass work. Does anyone know of anyone who makes one for older Seacrafts? If not, the Key West one will fit. Thanks for your help.

They probably will do the job for you but I would call them up first and ask some questions. There are a few companies that make jack plates that should do the job for you.

VS,
For about $600 you could buy (2) Rite-Hite manual jack plates and solve your problem. My guess is any other solution would be custom and more expensive than this. We put the 8" Rite-Hite on our 23 Sceptre a month ago for other reasons and it works great. Excellent quality too.
