But check it hitched up to the tow vehicle for a real world measurement. Raising or lowering the tongue will change the height at the back as well, like a teeter totter. The axle on your trailer is pretty far back so it would take a very tall bump or steep slope for the skeg to ever hit, but you never know. Unless the trailer is really tall, I like the skeg to be above the axle quite a bit. Transom savers are pretty cheap.Your motor looks to be the right shaft length for the boat. After reading through your other thread, unless you're getting excessive spray or other poor handling characteristics, I would run it as is and see how it does.</blockquote>
