[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 175691, member: 1417"] If you have a 16 1/2" transom and a long shaft then your motor is indeed too far down. You should look into building up that lower area on the transom. You could do several things but maybe making a block of plywood or hardwood that fills that void, covering it with aluminum. You can also buy a jack plate. There are many available but they are expensive. Bassboy builds boats so maybe he will weigh in about this.
