The bracket has about 30" of setback so I figure I need to mount the cavitation plate on the engine about 2" higher than the bottom of the "V". At least thats what I set it up for this weekend. I still have the option with the bolt patterns to move the engine up 4" so so and down 2" on the bracket if I have cavitation issues. Had a friend with a forklift pick up the motor, while mounted to the bracket and we got everything laid out and drilled. Couldn't mount the bracket permanently because the hardward store was out of Stainless bolts. I'll get it mounted permanently next weekend and work on the rear covering board for across the stern. I'll also put up pix tomorrow of what I got done this weekend, I'm too tired to do it right now.
No worries about that other guy. I don't think this is a wet boat at all. Of course, with the wrong operator, any vessel can become a shower for those aboard.
