Default Re: transom/engine question

You could probably have the shaft extended on your current engine to 25". Most engines have an extension kit available. That way you could rebuild the transom to 25", as it should be, and still keep your current engine. At least until the funds are available for an upgrade. No sense rebuilding a transom or buying a bracket for 20" shaft. If you ever sell, the new owner will certainly balk at a 20" transom, rebuilt or not.

Default Re: transom/engine question

What would be the negative of rebuilding the transom, and getting a bracket or jack plate for a 20"? What would be the benefit of having a 25" on a bracket or jack plate with a closed transom vs a 20" on a bracket or jack plate with a closed transom?

If there wouldn't be a difference then when I repowered I'd just put a new 20" on it, vs modifying my current engine and then buying a new 25" engine.
