I have a 18 ft action speed boat with 1989 yamaha 200 and 26 pitch prop and jack plate the motor has a 20 inch shaft do they make a coversion proformance lower unit maybe a away to make it shorter. the boat is fast but to plane it it draws alot of water and jack plate must remain all the way up it looks like a tower behind my boat. any sugestions
