HI gang,

I've got a day or two to get the new-used outboard mount on the transom of my P19. It's the same spring loaded mount, made by Fulton, that IM puts on the new P19's.

I'll be putting a Nissan 5 hp long shaft on the bracket. I believe the travel on the bracket is 14 vertical inches.

I want to make sure that it's in the middle position for normal sailing, lower-than normal for heavy seas conditions (prop should be a little deeper than normal) and prop out-of the-water clearance in the raised/stored posotion.

Can someone tell me how far below the transom I should put it so that it works in all the positions? It will be really hard for me to wrestle with the bracket and OB motor to check the alignment in the up, normal, and deep prop positions. The measurement from the top of the uppermost bolt to the transom would be much apprecitated.
