I once made an extension to accommodate a long shaft Honda, which was almost 10 inches longer than my transom. It worked just fine, but now that I want to use a normal sized motor, I’m left with some honkin’ holes to deal with. So if you do something, I’d advise thinking ahead on the chance that you might want to undo it someday.
What is the harm if it’s a couple inches low? The case with my Honda was a bit more than that, and it was a bit more HP than the boat called for, so I know why I did it.
