Has anyone installed this jackplate on a 78 montauk or equal? I am concerned about the mounting with the splash well drain tubes being 16 1/2 inches and the jackplate being 16 3/4 wide. I called BMS and the said that they usally grind the drain tube or notch the jack plate to make it fit. I am concerding replacing the splash well tubes with PVC tubes flush with the transom so there will not be any interference problems. Has anyone done this or thought about it? Thanks
