Each hole is = to 3/4in. I too hope it work's for 'ya.
I need to raise my motor's. I think there is to much drag. They do not blow out. I leave them trimmed at 1/4 on the guage. Anymore and it want's to raise the bow. I put more tab in it to bring the bow down. The fuel management guage is a excllent tool for trimming the boat. I'm still in serch of the illusive 3mpg. I get about 2.2 to 2.3mpg now. |

Bobby - When you raise or lower the engines on the bracket how do you ensure another good seal? Remove all the bolts, re-coat and replace? Looks like we will be going in opposite directions - yours UP mine DOWN.
According to my flow scan I am at 2.4-2.5 Avg MPG at 34-35 MPH. With your twin Suzies you will be doing great to get 3 MPG.. FWIW - I Called Don at D&D to verify the height of the motor - he said that with my single D&D OB bracket the cavitation plate should be 3 1/2 inches above the keel. I took a long straight edge and measured it - my motor is currently at 4 1/2 inches. Dropping it one hole should make it about perfect - we'll see.

Sound's good.
Yea, just unbolt the motor and slide it back a couple of inch's. Clean the surface the best you can and reseal it and bolt the motor back on. I have rubber pad's between the motor's and bracket. Stole that idea from Armstrong. Still use sealer. |
