Getting the new engine elevated on the new brackets is a clever trick. Any technique you can do to prevent getting salt water spray/splash on the engine will inhibit corrosion.
For this 2006 model Yamaha the 5-inch spacer is permanently cast into the unit itself so there no way to remove it. Even if I could remove it a new 25-inch shaft and shift shaft would have cost me well over the $400 for the static lift brackets.
This is the exact boat I want with same motor set up!
Thanks for watching!

Good job! How was your bracket holding up
As of right now I have not been able to test her out on the water. I have had to do a lot of electrical work but she is ready now!
Why would you install those ugly brackets instead of just taking a 5-inch spacer out and getting a 25-in shaft and 25-in shift shaft

How much did the motor cost?
That one was 10k. I’ve been finding them a lot less now.
