    I would move the motor up on the jack
    plate. Its probably bolted in the middle of the 5 holes. Each hole is about 3/4"

    What He Said!!! ^^^
    If the engine is already up on the plate, you need to call Steve as you may have an outdated outer plate! The newer design is taller and has a cross brace close to the top!

    What he said. ^^^ Mine had the plate that was for below the pad. I called Steve and he made new plates for getting above and added 2" of setback. Steve is the man to call.
