You need to determine what bolt pattern is drilled on your transom.
It could be the non-BIA standard pattern.

Review the articles on Engine Rigging Height and Bolts Holes here:

One method to get around filling and redrilling holes for non-standard pattern it to use a 0 setback jackplate.

Be careful, dealers typically install motors too low on Boston Whaler's. Even after being told specific instructions.

Evinrude dealers are no different and this includes Portland Yacht Services. I have no experience with Yarmouth Boat Yard.
