Tom,

That's good news.
I redid the drawing to add the blind holes in black color.

I also colored the 2 holes green that would be 1/2 inch lower than the blind (black) holes.

I would like to hear from anyone with a 16/17' hull that has their engine raised up 2 holes.
How is the performance?

I know my 70 hp Evinrude was mounted all the way down and the engine was too low.
I always wanted to raise it but because it was mounted using the blind holes, I never did raise it up.
Apparently we cannot just raise the engine up 1 hole because the lower thru bolts will not clear the inside of the transom so we would have to raise the engine up 2 holes...
Anyone?
