[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 431083, member: 15266"] I know right!! That transom is perfect for an 80's Johnson/Evinrude, as their SS motors measure 18.5" if memory serves me right. Good idea about the warranty. If it were me I went with the extension kit, I would just take the extension kit out if you had to bring it to service for warranty work. I have set up a good deal of boats in my day. I have learned that some guys are able to raise their engines up 3-4" for 4-6" of setback. I think if you put that minijacker or another kind of fixed 4" setback plate that you could leave the motor at the height that it is at and stop cavitating. [/QUOTE]
