[QUOTE="sixgun86, post: 240510, member: 5345"] You might be able use a jack plate mounted below the cap of the transom. Depends on how far the cowl protrudes and where the cav plate ends up while still being able to turn the tiller. Probably be able fab one at your local improvement store for a motor that size. Question is do you really want to drill your transom for a 4hp. Probably won't be happy with it long if at all. A 40 or 50lb trolling motor would be a better option as you wouldn't have to hear the wail of a 2stroke struggle nor would you have to worry about transom height, install or purchase of a jack plate, and break downs/maintenance. If your boat is 14' + it's going to be severely under powered and strong winds/current/wake would make you almost come to a stand still. I've got a 97/98 Yamaha 5hp Long shaft fs :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
