[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 385648, member: 12995"] You will probably need the plates to raise the motor then to get the foot lined up like you have it on the wood blocks. You might not need the wedges until you can see how it runs mounted at the correct height. My boat has the shorter transom and I have a short shaft and it's still raised up to get the foot even with the top of the tunnel. It took me about 6-8 tries to get it lined up and I still get more spray than I would like. I think a jackplate would give the best adjustment, but they end up settign the motor back from the tunnel. Link to the plates: [url]https://www.cmcmarineproducts.com/products/Outboard-Jack-Plates/Static-Height-Plates/CMC-Static-Jack-Plate-5-inch-vertical-extension[/url] Here's a picture of the plates, it's not my boat but they are basically angled aluminum that gets used in the jackplates.
