| Post subject: | Challenger motor height |
Quick question on motor height on the challeners. There a 25" transom and the merc 200 ive got has the spacer on it for the 25" transom. I was reading some of the challenger brochers that are on here and it was saying its that way to reduce gear case drag. Ive got a manual jack plate with 8" of set back, will probly run a 4" spacer to get 12" of set back. So my question is should i get a shorter mid for the motor to get the prop up or just mount the long shaft engine up high? |

I'm sure James will chime in soon here, if you do not have a low water pickup/ coned lower unit, I would start with the propshaft centreline between 2" and 1.5" below the bottom edge of the hull. Steve |

Ive got a stock lower unit with a bobs low water pick up. Ive also got a quicksilver 24p chopper that came with my side winder, might give it a go on the challenger since the motor is at pretty much stock height on the sidewinder. |
