    Transoms

    Got a 20” leg on my Sea Nymph, can I fit a 25” leg motor on using a made up bracket transom extension? Or do I go the full Monty and build the whole bloody transom up? Gotta be a simple answer????
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    Stick with a 20” motor. Save a lot of hassles as I have seen long leg o/b’s fitted and there is invariable a problem with the owner being left with a motor no one is happy with.

    Its only 5 inches Higher! if that causes balance problems you already had them before.
    Its about getting the powerhead up away from the water and increasing trim control.
