Jake, i can measure it on Saturday when I go to my boat. Hopefully some other 25'ers will chime in too. _________________ <><><> Jason <><><>

Jake, sorry for the late response. Im on the boat as we speak. My boat is a 2007 25.
The motor well is a weird shape and slants down aft. From what i could measure these are the measurements.
Aft: 6 inches deep
Forward: 6.5 inches deep.
Then the side walls are different but that shouldn't matter. |

How can the splash well (Motor well is entirely different thing) be deeper forward than aft? I suspect the Slope would be much more than 0.5" From front to back.
Put a rigid straight edge over the deepest part of the splash well aft, and then over the part forward. Measure straight down from these points, and include the distance between the two points on the sides of the well. That will give you the slope in reference to the deck around the lazarett. _________________ Bob Austin

Yes, i measured the splashwell and I'm assuming that Jake meant the splashwell too. I thought that was the motor well too! ( what's the motor well then?)
Bob, the forward measurement is deeper because its sloping down aft and the "wall" forward is taller.
The side with the motor attached is 6 inches high.
The opposite side is 6.5 inches.
The distance between the two points is 18 and 1/4 inches. |

A motor well, is a cut out in the bottom of a boat which an outboard motor is placed into. Some allow the motor to be retracted, so that the lower unit will be protected when the boat is drug up onto a beach. Some are square holes, where the motor cannot be tilted; this type of boat cannot be pulled onto a beach with the motor in place. In both types of boats, the transom is aft of the motor. This type of arrangement is common in beach dorys.
To attempt to build a level bracket for a cooler or generator,, one has to know the slope of the motor well from the horizontal plane. working from the deck is one way, from a level is another way. Just measuring the depth at the vertical "wall" at the forward end of the splash well, and the aft end, does not give this information, which the PO requested. Give it some thought.l |
