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.http://www.geocities.com/jaykchan/Ma...o_Transom.html
..... 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.

I was saying that because I don't have a chance to examine the
thickness of the transom on either side of the main outboard. I
didn't examine that area because I thought I would examine that area
after I had removed the boxy structures. Now that I am not going to
remove the boxy structures, I will have to find a different way to
examine the thickness of that area. If that area is thinner than the
rest, the kicker bracket will have to put close to the main outboard,
and will have to angle to the side. Now I think of this, I might have
worried too much. What's the chance that the transom will have
variable thickness anyway. I probably will still take a look on that
area to double check. But the chance is good that the bracket will be
positioned away from the main outboard, and the bracket will only need
to point upward instead of pointing to the side.
