[QUOTE="ndthwacker, post: 463871, member: 4907"] Hey everyone its been awhile. I just picked up a 2004 mercury 90/65 2 stroke, to replace my 2007 mercury 60hp 4stroke prop. I have a cnc manual power lift jackplate with 5.5in adjustment and 5.5in setback. Well i put it on my boat(wich is a 1660 modV with pods side counsel, i think its a beavertail). and when i have my motor level to where it should sit, the starting edge of my my foot is 16inches from my boat and still 2.5in too low.. ill post some pics of it my situation. Im thinking about ordering a new jackplate, the powertran magnum with 7.5in lift and only 4in setback.. But this still will leave my foot along ways off my boat.. My 1 idea was possibly if i put in a transom block under the new jackplate that changed the degrees to more verticle my ne place would lift more verticle and keep it closer to the boat when raised up. (maybe my trim takes care of that but i still think it would help some), then id add a spray plate going back to the jet foot.. ill most likely grind off my drain plug and put my plate over it flush with my boat and plug my drain hole from the inside. My second idea is the same as the first but add an entire plate from pod to pod all the way back, and possibly build a tunnle into it.. Id really appreciate any ideas and feedback on how to get my motor closer to my boat..[ATTACH type="full" alt="20190411_174003.jpg"]101060._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190411_173720.jpg"]101059._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190411_173558.jpg"]101061._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
