Hi Guys! I am in the process of refinishing a 21' super boat. The boat previously had twin outboard motors on it. It was remodified to accept a single 225 hp Yamaha, which I currently have removed from the boat while refinishing. The previous owner had a transom jack on it, which is no longer there. When I removed the reinforcement plate on the back of the transom. I found five different sets of holes. HELP!!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHICH HOLES ARE THE RIGHT ONES!!!!
The top set of motor holes were mounted only 1 inch down from the top of the transom. Needless to say, it crushed the snot out of the transom.
Guys, do you think this would be insane? I would like to mount a transom jack using holes which are 5 inches down. The upper bolts are approximately 11 1/2 inches apart and the lower bolts are approx 9 7/8 inches apart, with a distance of 6 3/8ths inches inbetween. I would reinforcethe transom from the inside with either aluminium or stainless brackets. I need ideas or pictures as to how to reinforce!!!
Any ideas on set back?
Would I have any problem with vertical lift?
What transom jacks would you recommend?
