[QUOTE="richg99, post: 240543, member: 4376"] The only legitimate way to use a short shaft motor on a tall transom is to cut the transom down. They do it all of the time on fiberglass Carolina Skiffs. Many CS's are shipped to the dealer as 20 inch transoms...and then the dealer can cut it down if he finds someone he can talk into a short shaft motor. Not anything I'd want unless I was on a very small lake with no chance for big waves. A 20 inch transom is far safer when combating waves from the stern. If you want a bracket that will do the job on up to 10/15 hp motors. here is one. https://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=696032&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=50366&subdeptNum=50411&classNum=50412 At that price, I'd be looking for a used long shaft motor instead, though. Sorry, no better answer for you. regards, R [/QUOTE]
