Question for you, Mjfnet.
I am in touch with Tanner, they have been very helpful and I am in the process to place the order.
But...they supply the bracket in two flavours: offset at 6"1/2 or offset at 13" from the transom.
I am highly in doubt.
Since, as far I have seen, you have my same engine "long shaft", which one of the two bracket did you choose, and why?
My first idea is to go with the 13" as I have more room to lock the engine high enough when not in use, but I am not 100% convinced of this.
One more thing: did you install a second plate inside the boat on the transom or not?

Thank you very much.
