I'm buyin a hd16ddp xpress and the transom height is 21" and I got a short shaft 35 GTR and I was goin to put the jackpot on it and drop it done... Has anybody done it? Will it work?

Gonna have to find a way that will allow motor to kick up without hitting transom....id say cut the transom down.

I was gone do that but I would think that the jackplate would work better.... Idk

if you drop the motor with a jack plate, will the motor hit the transom when it kicks up? there are a lot of options...cutting down transom or adding a hunt deck, but when I was looking to putting my pd on a jack plate to lower it a few inches when in mud, I was going to be hitting transom on the kick up....the only solution I came up with was cutting down transom and adding a mounting plate that was spit down the middle to accomidate trim etc.....but I still dont know if motor would have kicked up and hit jack plate supports when fully lowered......

cut the transom down
