What I have in mind is something like the one described in this web

His bracket needs to point to the side. Mine will need to not only
point to the side, but also point up -- compounded angle.


Why do you need to angle it to the side? From your photo, it appears
you can locate it up close to the hull/deck joint, anywhere you want
on the port half of the transom.

...... and by the way, are you still planning on a 20" shaft? If so, as
Calif Bill pointed out, you may not need to angle it up very much if
at all. And I wouldn't worry about having your prop too deep. The
deeper your prop, the less likely it'll come out of the water due to
wave action.
