				You'll need the up and down motion. My skeg on the 9.8 still drags a little and you can't really tilt the motor forward.

 I second what Mac said. I have the same or similar mount that has the up and down motion and the skeg and prop still scrape the water when I take off. I can tilt my motor forward a bit though to alleviate the dragging a bit.
