[QUOTE="skeet, post: 492840, member: 31990"] I bought a new 20 hp tohatsu in 2017.to go on an alumacraft 15 ft jon. The tiller handle hit the back of the drivers seat, causing me to fold up the tiller handle in tight turns. Curiously i looked at the cavitation plate vs transom height. The transom is 15 inches but the cavitation plate is about 1 1/2 inches lower. I made a homemade jackplate that moved the engine back 2 inches and raised the engine up 11/2 inches. Also went from a 9 pitch 3 blade to an 10 pitch 4 blade.prop. everything now works well. The boat when planed out has plenty of lift from the 4 blade prop. I am 300 lbs and with a 2 gallon gas tank and battery in the rear. It sits well. Also put on transom pods. They helped even more. [/QUOTE]
