[QUOTE="Ironhorse2022, post: 492618, member: 31989"] Update: the suzuki is actually a standard shaft but for some reason, suzuki makes them a bit long at 17” from transom top to AV plate. This explains why the plate is two inches below my hull. Perhaps this motor needs to run a bit deeper for some reason, don’t know. In the spring, I’ll start where it is and then move it up gradually using spacers and see what happens. I don’t have enough transom height above the motor clamps to raise it two inches so a Jack plate of some sort might be required. I appreciate everyone’s input. [/QUOTE]
