Mounting my motor in the boat

[NorthernBoater]

I am unsure how I should mount my motor in my boot. Should I put it at an angle towards the back of the boat. Or should I put it in so it is level with the bottom of the boat

We will ne way more information in order to help you out. Example, hull type? lenght? type of drive? surface or submerged? size of the motor ect:)

put it at an angle....that way the prop (if using a fex shaft) can get as close as you can get it to the bottom of the hull and flatten out...if using a solid shaft, still put the engine at an angle and use a flex coupler to get that bend you need to flatten out the shaft as close to the bottom of the hull as you can...

Thanks for the input. I was leaning towards mounting it at an angle.

A Syncron. For now I am using a SV27 motor but I plan on putting a XL motor later on.
