    1987 Sefarer 228 Engine Mounting Height?

    I have a new-to-me Grady 228G that I bought with a blown 225 Johnson on the back. When I pulled the old motor, I did not check to see where the motor was mounted. I put a 200 HP Evinrude Ficht on the back, and not knowing the proper height, I put it at the lowest setting. It runs great, but...
