So. One more question about this motor… Well this and others. I noticed these older motors that people advertise as "short shafts" are a bit longer than normal. I have this same problem with my 71 mercury 110. Both motors are like 2 1/2 to 3 inches too long for my transom. With the merc on my old flat bottom I just ran it that way and it still did OK. So I suppose I would need to add a jack plate to raise it up a bit to get maximum performance but I do not like the look of it so is there any other way around this?
