What is the "X" height that it needs.
The motor is a hp Evinrude. The boat is a Bayliner Trophy. Boat transom height is made for a 25" shaft motor. The motor is a 20 but with a 5" Bay Mfg Extension kit making it a 25" motor. SO all this is good. Just need to to figure out what the fine measurement is at the bottom of the hull.

Get a jackplate so you can fine tune it after testing. Joined Sep 4, Messages 4, I wouldn't be sweating a jackplate at this point until you have determined that X value. Sometimes if you are trying to fine tune it for a small amount, some people use a small shim on top of the transom, using the slots in the clamp bracket to allow the engine to come up a bit. If you haven't hung it yet, measuring the transom and the distance between the top of the transom bracket and the cav plate should give you a pretty close idea of what X will be on installation.
Not trying to counter checkmate but I am just not a fan of jackplates unless there is a real need. Re: How to properly install a outboard The main reason i suggested a jackplate is i come from a performance boating background, now with a bayliner trophy, i do imagine the OP's main concern is not speed. However, having the optimum height does help economy a bit in most cases as well. Also, my main reason for running jackplates is actually not the adjustability in height mine always stays at the same spot , it is for the setback.
Position the decal like a bumper sticker and squeegee down. You only have one chance with this application, use at your own risk! If you want to preserve the old decals, you can put a clear piece of vinyl on top and remove the decal with a blade, This clear vinyl will help the decal to stay on one piece, before removing or dispose of your decals send us an email, we are interested in those old factory decals, we can give you a credit for those stickers.
Pull gently away from the surface. If you can pull at least a couple of square inches then repeat this process until done. If the graphic is very old, it will break off as soon as you grip and pull. If this happens, dig the corner of the blade between the decal and the boat at a sharp angle without messing up the boat. Repeat until completely removed. Caution: The blade may snap at any time so wear hand and eye protection.
Older boat graphics will also need the adhesive removed from the surface. Repeat until the adhesive is removed.
