The most important measurement to take before mounting is to make sure your prop shaft is parallel, not inline, but parallel to your keel strake.
While keeping those two parallel, set your motor height by having your anti-cave plate as close to possible to being inline with the bottom of your keel.
You will know you did it right when you are on plane and look overboard and can see only the top half of your anti-cav plate.
With help, set your motor skeg on a block of wood and use your trailer jack to raise or lower your transom to the sweet spot.
As for sealant use LifeCalk. It stinks but I have never used anything better.
Do NOT use 3m 5000.
