I dont think my motor is in the water enough, how can I lower the outboard into the water, is there a mount or something for that? How far should it be in the water? should the propeller be under the boat?

There are 15" transoms and 20" transoms in the smaller aluminum boat world. Measure your transom, and the lower unit of your motor. they need to match pretty closely.

Hiya,

you might be able to find a lower unit extension, although I would be surprised if there was one that existed for that motor.

What brand and model of boat do you have this motor on? Is it the boat that is in the picture you put up a few weeks ago?

Steve
