Transom height

[Old'sCool]

I would suggest 25" (+1"-2") and get a Bay Manufacturing spacer for your 150.

In your case Old'sCool advice sounds good. I completed by transom redo last year on my 20’ Seafari with an 20” shaft length ETEC 150 HO. Originally used for ocean trolling, the last 20 years lake use only. I raised the engine .75" and the transom 2” to have more margin for weight in the stern. I kept it at 22” to avoid the cost of the Bay Mfg engine extension and converting to hydraulic steering which you will probably use.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was unaware of the Bay Manufacturing spacer. Now you have given me more to think about.
