motor bracket stuck on up position

[brackish]

I am shopping around for a new outboard bracket and the salesmen insist on me telling him the necessary lift of the bracket on the transom ...With my motor now stuck and locked in the down position, I cant lift it up and down to figure out the necessary lift.
Must be equal on all CP23 so anybody knows ?
My motor is Tohatsu 8 hp 4 stroke 20 inch shaft 95 pounds....
Tks in advance

Raining the next couple of days, courtesy of Beta, will measure travel next time I go up which will probably be Friday or Saturday.

It is a little difficult to get a precise measurement, but what I got was 10" and I would say that is plus or minus an inch.  With the lift in the uppermost position, My 25" shaft sail pro is about two inches in the water, when lowered to the lowest position it is about twelve inches in the water.
