Author	Topic:   Suzuki 4-stroke 70 set-up for nauset
detra	posted 05-15-2003 12:20 AM ET (US)      Was going to go with the 115, but decided to heed sage advice (Bigshot and JB). Hull is a 1972 pre-smirk nauset formerly powered by 1975 85 hp rude. Do I need a jackplate to avoid altering splash well in order to access lower mounting bolts, and if so which plate is recommended. Also is 13X19 the best prop choice? thanks

I mounted mine an 1 1/2" above the transom without a jackplate. Look at: http://bellsouthpwp.net/j/s/jstachow/Homepa/Homepa6/stack6.htm The water line is now just above the transom drain tubes. But I have a livewell rear casting deck which adds about 40lbs. to the rear.
