Your advice below concerning this stuff what i was contemplating:

Don't forget all the wires, hoses steering cable, throttle and shift must be at least 6" longer for the setback plus there must be enough slack for everyone to go up another 5 or 6" as the motor gets jacked up and tilted up.
I have a jackplate on mine I did not have to drill for the steering but before you place the motor on the plate attach your steering cable or you will not get it through the tube. I had plenty of slack on everything else and the steering cable I bought one 1 foot longer. What I liked about the plate was the holeshot you can tuck your O/B under farther and I could plane the boat in 2 boat lengths. I have a 25 on a 20 transom....................
