Bracket mounting question

[hermco]

You will have to add 5" to the transom heighth to accomodate twin 25" shaft motors or a 30" shaft single.I do this by getting a 2" x 6" board from lumber yard rip it to 5" and glass it on top of the existing transom cut out.

The easyest way to make the 25" to a 30" is to purchase a a 5 " step bracket. THey sell for under 175.00. We also use these to make a 25" engine work on a 20" transome. THe key is haveing a good transome to bolt it to. It will bolt into the holes that are already in the hull so there is no drilling new holes. As for stepping it down with a bracket I caint see the steering working.

Joe,
Who makes the step bracket? I've never heard of one before and would be interested in looking at one. Thanks.
