Re: Short transom gatortail You got it, its on bottom pin, belt housing is about two inches from bottom but i can do shit in shallow water. Big blade prop 12" measured. I feel like im not getting to dig down deep enough bc i spray muddy water everywhere!

Re: Short transom gatortail I'm at work but can when I get home. But short/tall transom should be the same at the bottom of the boat.

Re: Short transom gatortail Beings his signature says Ribbed Boat, I can pretty much guarantee that it is a 16 degree transom. Not enough angle.
You need to shim outside top out about 1/4" or so. Then ya problem will be resolved.

Re: Short transom gatortail When I had my ribbed boat I ran my GTR with the pin in the bottom hole. I was able to trim up to just the right height for the prop to be 1/2 out and down enough to dig out in the shallows.
I hope this helps.
