notched transom OR jackplate ?

[pancake]

i installed it last week, and will test next week wx permitting. i had to reroute the manual steering cable thru another hole which was drilled a little higher in the back. it went thru but was not easy, it would help to have a longer steering cable. the next issue i have are the nuts which lower and raise the cmc manual unit on the jack screw come loose sometimes. any one else have this problem?

likeyou said BLU LUNCH it would probably have been easier to install the steering cable then mount the whole assembly . i almost was not able to get it to go back in.
