[QUOTE="airshot, post: 513771, member: 1183"] Cause a problem...probably nothing serious, but your motor will not be effiecient. Wrong shaft length for the transom. As mentioned, loss of speed and issues in shallow water with prop hitting. Either go with a jack plate or have a riser welded/ bolted to the transom to get the motor higher. If performance is not an issue, then go for it, but, if it were mine, I would fabricate a riser to get the motor the correct height, but then again I am kinda picky about things being correct....
