				 Re: 20 inch motor on a bracket 
 
			
			Blue:
 Taking off isn't the tricky part, slowing down is! I agree 20" is too short for a bracket that allows the motor to completely trim up with an enclosed transom (26" + etc... )
 
 I have a 25" shaft on a bracket that has 26" of setback on my boat (which isn't balance very well) right now and it still closer than I'd like.  I thought on several occasion cylinders 5 & 6 where going to suck water for sure, when coming off plane in a following sea.
