    motor height with transom saver

    How far is the skeg from the pavement when trailing. My new transom saver is lower than the one my boat come with. Thanks

    I am sure it varies. But mine is 11 1/2" measuring where it sits in the yard. Not on asphalt.

    Go on their site and look at the pictures that they are showing, which seems to be last hole mounting bracket ( or last 2 holes if you are counting away from the transom.)
    There is no set number, just be aware of the areas you are trailering, especially parking lot with inclines and deep gutters at the entrance.

    It is at ten and a half. I think it will be ok. Thoughts.

    Reason I ask was because if you had an Evinrude I had a suggestion...maybe some of the Mercury guys have an idea.
