[QUOTE="cyberflexx, post: 92731, member: 496"] I am not much of a handyman, I am just flying by the seat of my pants. What I will do is find the center of the transom by finding the center of the drainplug / center groove in the boat hull. I will mark it with a pencil and a "T" square to make sure my line is perfectly verticle. I will then find the center of my mini jacker and mark it the same way. I will then line up the 2 verticle lines on the transom and mini jacker, use clamps to hold the jacker in place, then drill one hole on each side of the plate and temp. bolt it in and measure my motor and my transom to make sure how high i need to go with it., then after I find the height, I will drill 2 more holes about 5 inches down from the first holes to make sure there is enough pressure on the plate's mounting area. This is how I envision it anyway.. If anyone has a better plan, let me know. I have never done this before. [/QUOTE]
