any way to use a 20" shaft motor on a bracket that requires a 25" shaft motor?

I am curious if theres any way to use a 20" shaft motor on my gill bracket that requires a 25" shaft motor.. Any kind of jack plate that lowers? Lots of 20" shaft motors around me cheap, but not a lot of 25"s in my price range.

On my 21 I used a 6" set-back manual jack-plate and it works, but I would NOT suggest using one on a bracket...recalling several past attempts at that, it buries the engine in the wake when the boat comes off plane to slow down...I wouldn't do it...sorry man...bust out a few more bucks and go for the 25"er...
 
I had a 25 on my V20 always wished I could have had a 30 just to stay out of the water some, no think a 20 is a good Idea
 
You can do what I did I have a 20 inch transom I ran a Jackplate all the way up for the extra 5 inches and I run a 25 inch motor.........

The Bay Kit includes a

5" Shift Shaft Extension
5" Drive Shaft Extension
5" Water Tube Extension

5" Aluminum Housing (Spacer)
Longer Studs


I've used several of these kits on Motors before and they work well. The kits are $600+ . . . You can save some $$$ by finding pieces on ebay.
 
I have one I just pulled one form my 235. If you interested let me know.

FYI: the only difference in a 506 or 507 model for OMC is the length of the rear bolt for the lower unit. You can order parts from Bay MFG if needed but each uses the same casting for the 5" extension. Nice folks at Bay, I have called them several times for help/questions and they were always very helpful, believe it's a mom and pop operation.
