    Holeshot plate installation

    I’m installing a UBP Holeshotplate on my 14” hydro dynamics Jackplate. The problem I’m having is when I line it up to mark the holes for drilling, part of the transom mounthangs below the jackplate. Me question is, if I were to grind down this small section would it hurt the integrity of the mount. I have attached a picture so you can see what I’m referencing.

    That is the bottom of the Jackplate. The part sticking down is the L brace that is attached to the transom. I attached another view. I don’t think it would hurt grinding that little corner down, just looking foe second opinion.
