how can i use a 25" motor on a 20" transom

[MoonGlow II]

Ok with all your help now I know I have a boat with a 20" transom Well it is just shy of 21" but. In looking for a used motor I am finding many more 25" shaft motors than 20" ones So what is the cheapest and or best way to use a 25" on my 20" boat...can I just raise it to the highest holes on the motor or will that still be to deep? Thanks Andy

You will need a Jackplate with that said if money is a huge factor you will need to go with a manual. I tested this model found on ebay very economical in my opinion comparing to hydraulics...

I had one of those on an old Cobia I had. 25" motor on a 20" boat. It worked great.

There you go! What they said!
Several different types out there with different applications.
Just make sure the one you choose is rated for the horse motor you got or better.

OK so if i go with jack plate on my 20v the steering cable would have a kink in it unless i cut a new hole which I rather not do any ideas how you guys handled it Thanks

I had the same thought when kneeling behind my wife once while she was on all fours.
