[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 513768, member: 32426"] Yes, this could be an issue. It will impact top speed and it could cause problems like porpoising. Is the motor properly matched to the transom height? If that is a long shaft outboard the transom should measure 20 to 21”. If your transom is around 15” then you will need a short shaft outboard. It could also be an extra long shaft motor on a 20” transom so we really need more information. A possible alternative to replacing the OB or changing shaft length is to rebuild the transom, if it makes sense. [/QUOTE]
