HermCo Bracket Installation Question

[Rufneck]

I have a Hermco bracket for a single motor that is installed on my 23' Sceptre. I have not yet installed the motor but I will soon.

I recall when we mounted my Hermco bracket we did not exactly follow the instructions. I just don't remember if we went an inch higher or an inch lower?!?!? I just know the bolts didn't work well at the recommended height. We may have gone lower because I recall having a discussion and explaining to the guy helping me that if the bracket was lower it would provide additional flotation at rest. I suppose as long as the motor height is at the optimal height, the precise location of the bracket shouldn't matter too much.
