Re: shorties on a single step
Candyman, You must be saying that fountain raised the motor first ,then used the top hole in the stellings box. Yes mine are stellings. But if I put mine in the top hole that will put the drive lower in the water. It will lower the ext box. The bolts are in the bottom hole now and I can not trim the drive with out them hitting the swimplatform. and with the drives against the platform at 5200 there is no rooster at all. I think this is slowing the boat .??????????????

Re: shorties on a single step
I checked the drive height tonight, they are 4inches from the bottom of the boat to the center of the prop shaft. Does anyone know what this should be with boxes?
