[QUOTE="RAMROD, post: 324828, member: 10430"] I take it that you have a long shaft motor if I understand you and that is why you need to raise it a little. I had the same problem with a 12 foot semi-V. I made a jack plate similar to what you have described and had no problems with the setback, the plate worked perfect, now this was with a heavy 4 stroke motor and although I never had any problems with my transom due to river strikes it did bow some from the road travel. What I did was run a ratchet strap from around the jack plate to the wench post at the front of the trailer to relieve some strain. [/QUOTE]
