Mayfair used to make a stainless extension mount to use with standoff boxes. Call Bing and ask If he still makes or call Bob at Latham he will make anything you need.

I have a pair of custom made Stainless Steel wing plate saddles specially designed for the Merc Bravo One outdrives made by Stellings extension boxes so that the rams will extend all the way to the transom....I had used these on my boat with extension boxes for several years. I have since sold that boat, but I still have the wind plates available. They're heavy duty and make nice seats if you want to sit on top of your drives while swimming....and they look cool too!
