The site Kam posted is right, its like 1" for every 12 if you follow that.

I just measured it so that the motor was even with the bottom keel. works fine!!

I just thought the bracket that way was just to high on the back of the boat!

So on mine the mount on the bracket is at 25 and the bracket is like 23 or so from the botom

Good luck!

Some places I have seen it 1" up for ever 12" back, some say 1"up for ever 5 to 6" back.

I guess that's where the art comes in. I would think that if you don't go as high as is possible, you are missing out on some of the "bracket advantage". But too high you will be out there with a saw like Willy.
