One note: I was not thinking too clearly when I bought a 20 inch one to fit the transom. I should have got the longer shaft and raised the transom. My CC ships far too much water over the stern. It has not been a problem for the motor, I just do not like to see it.

Good to see you check in Snoozer.
I forgot that I did change the sparkplugs last year, it started to run a little rough at idle when cold but straightened right out with new plugs.
I also have a 20 inch motor/transom and I can not remember a single time getting water over the transom, nothing more than a splash anyways.
It may be the difference in the weight distribution of the Cuddy verses CC.
