Installing 4hp "Kicker" Motor

I am looking into installing a 4-HP auxiliary motor to my 2001 Nitro.  The auxiliary motor is my solution to my Canada trips where I can not charge my TM batteries.  I want to pick everyone's brain on the best way to mount the small motor.  Currently I am looking at a GARELICK STAINLESS STEEL OUTBOARD MOTOR BRACKET (TO 8 HP) 71037 with the Garelick Adapter Plate 71053 (to allow removal of motor when back home)  My Transom is on an angle and almost forms a point, which might make installation difficult.  Also the motor has no tilt feature, so I need a mount that will raise out of water.

Thanks for any tips.
