I know very little about gill brackets, so I admit that I may be mistaken here, but to my way of thinking, since the engine pivots on the rear of the bracket, the whole thing should be academic since you can just adjust the angle by trimming the engine.....no?

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
