[QUOTE="Zum, post: 214044, member: 349"] People have down extensions or homemade jackplates on this site all the time. Go to the search function(top right of any page of this site)and type in jackplate or homemade jackplate,you will get all kinds of ideas. You can probably raise it probably 1.5"s just by putting a spacer(block of wood) between the boat and motor.Just make sure the clamps have a good connection to the boat. I always leave my outboard(30hp) down,just like you have it,all season long. People hardly never take their motors off,in the larger/heavier sizes. Small/lighter outboards are easy to pick up...easy to take away...or steal. People are evolving to have sticky fingers,just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
