On my last boat I had to convert my mercury to 25" shaft after Don mounted bracket for me/took me about 2 hours (I changed water pump too and new lube. Member "deepsushi" hooked me up with a guy who sells them dirt cheap..I pm'd you with details and email contact address to vendor. So email him and see if he has any in stock that will fit your application... or buy one at http://www.baymfg.com/mercury.asp

Seaplus your outboard weighs the same as mine, did you use those exact measurments from that website when you mounted your bracket? Thanks

Well after taking the shrink wrap off the boat and taking some measurements from my transom and the bracket I picked up S FL it appears there may be a problem. Looks like the angle of the mounting surface of the bracket is more than the angle of the transom itself. These were measurements taken with a level and tape. I will check again with a framing square once I locate mine. But right now it doesnt look like it will work. Unless someone has a thought or two. There was talk of a shim but I dont think that is a good idea.
