Just bought a long shaft Tohatsu. The book that came with it states the cavitation plate should be one inch below the bottom of the boat. Hope that works out with Jerry's designed ob cutout. On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 10:47 AM, Dave Scobie <scoobscobie@gmail.com> wrote:

I tooled the original M17's transom cutout for a 4HP (a 2-cycle Johnson) long shaft outboard.

The mount was a frequent response to the lack of room in the cutout for
the shifter/throttle/tiller arm and some motors did not have enof room to rotate for 'reverse' operation - I installed a tiny fixed mount at the same height as the cut-out and use a 20" 4hp Evinrude Yachtwin (no reverse)
luckily solved all problems and adds minimum weight.
