[QUOTE="ATW, post: 412255, member: 12477"] Been doing a lot of research on my motor height. The Sea Ark's transom is 20" but at a reverse angle so from the transom top to the bottom of the boat at a 90-degree angle is shorter. My motor was dead even with the bottom of the boat even with the CMC PT-130 trim unit with the clamp adapter. I realized that the CMC unit was mounted on the boat in the lowest position so I brought it up to the other mounting hole which raised the entire unit about an inch. The AV plate on the motor is about 1" higher than the bottom of the boat-- hopefully this will work. I find it hard to believe that you could put a long shaft Evinrude/Johnson right on the 20" transom and have it perform. My motor is a good 3.5-4" higher now and sits about 1" above the hull. Hopefully thats the sweet spot with setback. Can't wait to experiment with it. And yes, I did bolt this motor to the CMC unit also-- Don't trust your clamps by themselves, people!
