any way to use a 20" shaft motor on a bracket that requires a 25" shaft motor?

[Blu_Lunch]

You can do what I did I have a 20 inch transom I ran a Jackplate all the way up for the extra 5 inches and I run a 25 inch motor.........

Same way if you have a 25 shaft and want to run a 30' jackplate

5 inch extension for your foot. Works very well. I went from a 20 to 25 on a bracket.

The website is quite lacking as far as pics and info are concerned. Can you give us some details including cost?

Thanks,

The Bay Kit includes a

I've used several of these kits on Motors before and they work well. The kits are $600+ . . . You can save some $$$ by finding pieces on ebay.

I have one I just pulled one form my 235. If you interested let me know.

FYI: the only difference in a 506 or 507 model for OMC is the length of the rear bolt for the lower unit. You can order parts from Bay MFG if needed but each uses the same casting for the 5" extension. Nice folks at Bay, I have called them several times for help/questions and they were always very helpful, believe it's a mom and pop operation.
