Can you mount the outboard such that it is “trimmed in” a bit? That is, mount the outboard such that the prop is angled forward versus the mount and thrust is angled slightly below horizontal? This will counteract some of the torque force trying to raise the bow and drop the stern. Smaller lightweight boats are often rigged this way to keep the stern up and bow down.

thank you didn't know about that is , is my first outboard will give it a try . I have to modify the engine mount is too close to me just behind the rear seat and is too noisy for my left ear. so probably I'll ask the welder for an angle of the motor mount. But just to be sure I understand well ( I speak french in Canada) looking at the kayak from one side the shaft of the engine should look like this / ?
thanks again.
