Looks like your motor was a 25” shaft on a jack plate, is that correct? Or was it a 20” on the jack plate?

20" transom, 20" shaft and I raised the transom 3". 2-1/4" would have been better due to hydraulic steering head, but, I have it worked out. I went with the 3" jack plate solely for the purpose of adjusting the height of the motor without removing bolts.
