Hi All,

A friend just bought a new J14 Carolyna Skiff for mostly small flat water
fishing. He has a question about outboard motor mounting height? We run in
some shallow water so he want to get it as high as practical:

"Just purchased a J14 (w/20" transom), and I love it. I am mounting a Yamaha
25 long shaft on it, and the large cavitation plate is about 2 1/2 inches
below the bottom of the boat. I have heard that the best position would be
even with the bottom. Does anyone have any thoughts on this. Is there a
transom riser I can purchase, and if so where?

Thanks in advance.

Brett"
