[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 390754, member: 9937"] Another upgrade to my motor, I installed a home made asjustable jack plate the other day. When I took the boat to test it had wicked torque steer to the right due to the height of the motor. My 88 Johnson did not have any way to adjust for torque steer so I came up with my own solution with things around the garage. I made two 1 1/2" angle aluminum pieces, angled them for hydrodynamics, then drilled to accept a 1/4-20 screw. Thankfully the previous owner had drilled holes already for a hydrofoil. Here's the outcome, I just hope it helps. My arms can't take anymore torque steer!!
