    Can someone please post a pic of their 15" lower

    I am having Marty cut my mid down to a 15". I have a Bobs nose cone and need to see how to notch the lower so I can trim all the way down.
    Can someone post a pic of theirs?
    Thanks

    Can you trim all the way down with that set up?

    You can see the stop bolt in the first hole on the mid clamp it looks like to keep it from hitting, but looks like it would hit the water fitting he has in the top instead of the side.

    Cut it there and plumb the water fitting in the side and you will be good.

    Even with the fitting on the side you still have to put bolts in the first trim hole or the cylinder will hit the mid can.
    You can have some one cut the trim cylinder down and avoid all of it. Just a matter of how much $$$ you have to spend.
    I use transom wedges to get the negative trim I need.
    If you plumb in the side you can cut off a little less.

    That's because you're running a cut mid. On a factory 15" the mid clears the trim cylinder
