Buy sandwich brackets
6” jack plate will help a lot not sure if that is same hull as mine I think it is or is yours rated for a 225? I only have a manual plate and it really made a difference

My 97 518 vs. Has a 10 in jack plate, its been great ,better hole shot, speed , love it, only problem ,I have to put it at an angle in garage
Ok, thanks yall that's what I was wanting to hear positive responses lol.
I have a 6” manual on my 1998 518DVS. Better hole shot and over all handling. I think Ranger says 6” is the max on that hull.
Give them a call. Don’t want to over stress the transom.
The 8” I have on mine hasn’t hurt any..
