Blue:
I know nothing about brackets. Looked at yours and wondering why you need one ??
Your lower unit seems long enough. So whats the reason for a bracket ??

Easy, 20 inch transom and the Merc is a 25 inch shaft.. When it stops raining here I'll take a picture from the inside the jack-plate is 5 inches higher than the transom. That's why the pic with my son and I the anticavation plate is at the right height......

It has the 82 cowling but the guy refinished the motor and he could not find the right decals so I ended up with those.........I got the motor running today It fired on the 1st time it turned over and started and ran like a bear. I like the rumble of the motor. I just came back from dinner turned the water on hit the choke and blipped the key and it roared to life.....This motor starts better than my truck.......Friday I'm taking a 1/2 a day off and bringing it down to a local lake 10 mintues from here it has a nice deep launch and I taking it for my first ride in a V-20.........................I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! Ted
