I have a 200 mariner with a 20" shaft that needs to be installed on my 1972 seacraft sf cc. It currently has a rebuilt 20" transom will this work correctly for me. Should I invest in a jackplate while it is being rebuilt????
Thanks

20" transom use a 20" shaft length motor,25" transom use a 25" shaft length motor.30" transom use a 30" shaft length motor.

Should I enclose the transom and get a bracket. Does this improve the performance. Should I get a jackplate. What do most people do with this size boat.
Thanks
