coombia21 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 i have a 14ft fishing boat and it has a shallow transom and i got a 9.9 long shaft from my neighbor that sold his boat how can i get the motor a little higher out of the water so the skag doesn't hang down so low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoppers Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 they make a jack plate for high performance bass boats to get the motor up higher, I would think you could use the same idea and fabricate one for your boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 That make a mini jack plate for about $100 bucks that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombia21 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 what would be the brand name that would be good to go with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine_man Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 They're pretty simple / straight forward... I'd get a stationary one that bolts to the transom.marine_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaBass Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You can also just bolt two 1/4" pieces of steel with green-treat between them to build up the transom. Thats what my buddy did to his duck boat and it worked great for his 9.9 mariner long shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakeguy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 As stated by marineman, I'd get a static bracket instead of one that sets the motor back on a boat that small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
