Default Got my jack plate installed!

Tearing my boat apart for a paint job and took the opportunity to install the jackplate to fix my 25" motor on a 20" transom problem. Looks pretty high but when we checked it with a straight edge, the cavitation plate was even with the bottom of the boat.
Also, by the time we got it on there, I did the push on the motor test to see if the transom would move and of course, it did, just ever so slightly though, so it looks like we'll be doing the transom next winter. It will get converted to a 25" transom at that point. BTW, without the jackplate the transom was solid, but with all the added leverage, I was able to move it a bit. So I'd rather be safe than sorry.
