Bolting a 15" Mid to 12" transom assembly.

I have had a few requests for the details on the
way I did this little project.
It is pretty straight forward.
I really like the 12" trim in the wet transom setup.
Also the manual up/down is nice.
So this is what I did with it.
I now have a 12" mid for a V6 so might play with that soon
also. If anyone needs more details let me know.
I have a ton of miles testing and tuning this setup and
this part of it works great. All I made were the 2 blocks that
are dull black CeraKoted.

I assume the thrust blocks made the 12 to 15 idea possible? My question has to do with the transom plywood spacer block? Did you add this for the 12 inch clamp casting of to get the engine location further aft? I had a problem with "gallop" on all my Seebolds and tried everything like spacer blocks, fuel tank and battery relocation, etc.

Very sorry.
Just seen this when you quoted it.
Again sorry.

I was trying everything at the time.
At the end for the weight of the setup i am underpowered to get it to "Fly"
With a very small prop I can make do and still have plenty of fun.
Not racing just running around in circles.
I am building a V6 for it and then will remove the transom spacer.


Thanks

Dago.
