[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 391024, member: 6843"] I will make 1/2. 3/4 1. Inch shims to see what works for the best height without going higher then the keel,I just hope I have enough transom left to clamp . I found quite a few forums I just read were guys just lifted their motor with wood shims like I want to and just used the clamps and never bolted it down and they never had any issues. Now of course if I do this I will still have that cable lock to make sure if it ever popped up it would get caught by the cable. When I clamp it down,I clamp it down,it would take some extremely serious force to pop the motor off the transom.the good part is if I move the motor up the clamps will be actually be sitting under the lip of the top of the transom for extra security. So all in all I believe I will try that first,shims. [/QUOTE]
