[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 481568, member: 22613"] Choice of silicone will have zero affect on vibrations. The mounting plate is still in direct contact with the transom. 3M 4200 is a good choice. It is a lower strength product that is designed for applications that may need to be taken apart in the future. That said, I sealed my engine mount bolts with 5200 (the high strength, permanent product) and had no trouble loosening them to adjust the motor. As for the motor height, you'll just need to get it on the water. All hulls perform differently, and the prop can have a big affect on it as well. If you can feel it ventilating out of the hole or while turning, it needs to be dropped a little. [/QUOTE]
