short to long conversion with a Merc Classic 50 on a princecraft 16 footer
I think short to long is about 2 inches diff. wasn’t 25 inch extra long ?
anyway my Classic 50 with power tilt was installed on a raised transom the back end was rebuilt 2 x3/4 inch special 7 ply waterproof porch plywood all bolted up with a large angle iron all across of the transom. top
home made steering box with cable
never had any issues
