[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 326149, member: 3278"] To the OP.....Great job on the plate. Two of the side benefits of placing the wood between the plates are that wood will provide a good "grip" for the engine clamped to it and secondly the wood provides sound deadening between the engine and hull. Now I am going off topic a little.............. There are [u]ALWAYS[/u] gains to be made with raising the static transom height of an engine. For those who claim not to have realized those gains.........you did not complete your work to make it perform. Propellers must be modified or substituted when raising small "kicker" style engines on transoms. What you have to remember is that the OEM designed these engines and propellers to function in a fully submerged application. You have just changed the ball game for those parts and pieces. Up to several tries or modifications may be necessary to propellers depending on your boat/load/load placement. There are long winded threads on here outlining success stories and what it took to make it happen. Look them up. [/QUOTE]
