Bracket placement on 23

[armandozx]

Good morning fellow seacrafter's I've been at it for a while and not yet done. A lot of mistakes here and there but they have served as a learning experience. Jumping to it.

I have a 23 CC with a closed transom. AS OF NOW the TRANSOM IS ONLY A SKIN. I have the composite foam ready to be installed and I want to use bracket holes for the bonding of the 4 x 8 foam, that way I don't have to close holes later on and use those.

The bracket is a dual engine stainless marine. I have gone to their website and they emailed me installation instructions which to some extent I understand, but following them to the teeth will set my BRACKET too high.

Any takes, recommendations, tips.

The set up with be a VERADO 30in shaft engine.

The current installation, puts the conners part of the bottom of the bracket close to the 2nd step of the hull, is there any issue with this? The previous set up was 2 x 225 hp fitch engines, not my set up ( previous owner ) I suspect the boat squatted quite a bite. The previous owner mentioned it rode like shit, which I find his set up to be at fault.

I was considering raising the bracket 1 1/4 in up from that set up, so I can get more elevation from that strake ( where the 2nd step begins )

Thanks in advanced.

If any pictures are need just let me know.
