Author	Topic:   long shaft motor, short shaft transon
buster1389	posted 07-24-2001 11:08 AM ET (US)         I recently purchased a 1962 whaler in need of help that came with a 1989 longshaft 25 hp evinrude. I trying to jack that motor up high enough and i am looking at t&h's mini jacker. I was wondering if anyone has done that and what kind of success has come from it. thanks, mike

The previous owner build an alluminum plate the stretched the entire length of the transom which i yanked off because it looked rediculous and i felt that it it wasn't a proper mount for that motor. I just want to make sure that the motor is secure because i have the tendancy to run small boats very hard out of my small boats.
