[QUOTE="redrum, post: 464039, member: 14669"] You can disassemble the jack plate and use only one side to make a super stiff transom riser that will allow you to bolt the motor up where it needs to be. My brother's old boat had a riser built the same way except it was welded. So take the jack plate apart so you have two very thick heavy duty pieces of aluminum angle. Each piece of angle will have 3 bolts. One in the bottom through the transom. The second one up in the bottom of the outboard mount and through the transom. The third through the top of the outboard mount (top bolt hole) to the fixed jack plate. It will move your motor up close to the transom, which is very important in my opinion. If you do plan on buying another jack plate then I'd suggest getting the one made by Outboard Jets. https://outboardjets.com/download/transom_bracket/TRANSOM%20BRACKET.pdf [/QUOTE]
