I thought it looked extra thick. Industry standard is 2.25" when you make it thicker, you lose input shaft engagement into the coupler.
With the transom 2.75" you've lost .5" of input shaft engagement engagement. =Don't aske me how I know...had this issue years ago with a TRS boat. stripped out the splines in short time...
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but check the engagement. I had extended spline shafts made.

1.Cut the hole using this handy jig. Went conservative @ 17” X.
Decided to keep it a bit lower, may sacrifice a couple mph, but dont want the prop blowing out in a hard corner racing etc.....
2. Once the holes cut, put some resin in to preserve the hole.
3. HP gimbal assy
