Even the yanks don’t have a 25 inch listed. 20 inch only
Put a photo up of a ruler against your transom from the bottom sheet to the top of the transom well where the engine would sit
Didn't even look. What's the model number of your engine Andy?

Andy probably best if u use a imperial tape measure inches for inches... we are metric so u may be getting confused in your measurements
imperial 20 inch to metric is 508mm or 50.8cm
imperial 25 inch to metric is 635mm or 63.5cm
tilt your engine as low as it will go and measure from the transom down to the cavitation plate the cav plate is the one right above the propeller
measure your transom along the transom line from the top to the bottom without the keel
i went thru the usa microfiche for the 2012 models (last listed) and it shows no 50hp Etec's with a XL leg or adapter
Any updates Andy ?
well i just put a ruler down the transom and it reads 20". the motor sits 5" above on the jack plate. You make up your own mind !!
Gazza, i am old enough to know the difference between inches and centimeters, i am pretty sure i can read a tape measure too. I might be 1-2cm out but not 5" out.
I know the specs for etecs say 20" but, a ruler dont lie, even the chinese have standards, lol.
So what else do outboard manufactures lie about,
Can you put a photo up of where you took the measurements of the transom and I’ll go measure mine
Doubt it’s lies
Every manufacturer has a different interpretation of shaft length and where it’s measured from
None are the same
It should be prop shaft to lowest clamp height but it isn t
Etec dont do a extralong shaft outboard in that capacity
I know it’s a thread necro but I’m over at the coast and decided to measure and video how long it took my renegade with a 50 Yamaha to get up and plane
well I Havnt used the go pro in a while and buggered that up
but driven properly the boat planes within 1-2 boat lengths it’s almost instant
Andy’s left the country so don’t thi k we will ever know his problem but something was seriously wrong with his setup
Where's he gone Steve ??
Or did I just miss the point...
I do remember the issues he was having, was quite strange in all honesty...

hi col
said he was going overseas for a while and had given up
to add trim tabs to a 4.2m hull is nuts
3/4 throttle launch and its up almost instantly even with 100l in the live wells
full throttle for a few seconds even quicker
poor setup or a dodgy hull would have to be bent like a banana though
more importantly no fish were willing to eat anything over the last three days can only put it down to recent floods
Hi Steve,
Yeah, something wasn't right there at all, I agree...
Oh well, maybe he will re post when He's back or starts using it again and we will here any outcomes......
LOL, Hope fish come back on the bite for you soon...
Cheers
