[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 439665, member: 12995"] I think my Lowe is 22-24" transom but it's a jet tunnel. Regardless, I have a Mercury 60/45 short shaft (15") jet and I still have it mounted almost at the highest setting which is 2-3" above the top of the transom. My boat is in the water at the moment so I can't get any definite measurements until daylight tomorrow. But my guess would be you need a short shaft with a 20" transom. If I didn't have a tunnel (which is 2-3" tall) then the motor would be mounted down even with the top of the transom. But I see jets mounted on the jack riser plate all the time so you could run the 20" shaft with one of the riser plates. I'll try to get some real numbers tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
