Mine has all kind of clearance. When the motor goes down and levels out I probably have at least 8" clearance.
On a side note I'll never be without trim tabs with a kicker motor, it makes it so easy...

You got a deal on that one. I'm looking around also for a spare to rebuild but no luck. My 470 runs great but would like to have a backup, I'd hate to waist a summer because af a bad motor.

I also have a Honda 9.9hp. Starts right up will slow down under 1mph and up to 5.5mph wide open. Not all that fast but it sure beats a tow. Great for trolling 1.5mph.
