Update
Found out i had low voltage on two plug wires, had carbs cleaned, a few electrical gremlins with the ignition, and the shaft mounts and steering shaft are shot. Motor had 92-94psi compression on all but one cylinder which had 82. If nothing else breaks when trying to repair it, it would cost over $1000 just for parts.
So i am having another motor installed this coming week, a 1986 Yamaha 150 25" shaft. I will build a jack plate, out of some 4x4 1/4" wall square steel tubing i have, so it will work on my 20" transom. Now i just need a remote control.

Jason I strongly suggest that you source some aluminum angle for your jackplate..... rust streaks are a real pain in debut.

This is just temporary to get me back on the water, I have found a hi-jacker fixed jack plate that lifts 5" and sets back 4" for $150. If everything works out i will purchase one. But i refuse to throw anymore money into this boat than i have to. Carb rebuild, new tilt/trim motor, and many many hours of tracking down problems with this motor and now this. I am done with it!
I will paint the steel jack plate with an epoxy paint after i get it welded up, to delay the rust for awhile. Like i said, once i get the Yammie on her and get confident again i will purchase an aluminum jack plate. http://www.wholesalemarine.com/p/T-H..._JP_d_4FA_d_DP

In that case, I'd just throw it on and try her out.... having the engine 5" low will limit how much you can trim up for speed without porpoising but unless you need to run very shallow water it won't hurt a thing.

After a little thought i decided to go ahead and get the fixed jack plate. Got my square tubing cut to size and found out the tubing would have to be at an angle and then the transom side holes would not hit the tubing, if i had 4" tubing it would work. But i had 3". A little bit of a leap before i looked issue.
 Maybe i can use it for a bow guide now for the trailer.
