The V has a fairly deep hull, and its no light weight, i don't think your going to pick a lot of performance at top end by jacking the motor high up, but you never know untill you try it. When I start out too high, it eliminates that nagging notion" I wonder if it would be better the next hole up?". Keeps from screwing with it down the road.

And remember, spareparts is a professional.

You mean like this? Its hard to tell from the still pics, but the spray you can see (not the boat wake) is shooting up in a nice V shape.

Re: motor mount question

i called the motor and rigging guy for Parker he said the plate should be 1 inch below bottom of transom with a single but with twins the inside or center side of the motors should be 1 inch and the outside as the transom rises should be 2 inches. hope that helps.

Re: motor mount question

Randleman, was that trimmed down all the way? If it still throws that v-spray up after you trim it up some, you may want to raise it up one hole and try it again

Re: motor mount question

That was trimmed up. I am going to yank that motor and put my Johnzuki 4 stroke on her. I'll be sure it is not too low.

Re: motor mount question

you never know till you try, that's why I allways put too big a prop on and jack the mottor up too high, and then back it back down. that way I'm not constantly wondering" maybe the next pitch up or the next hole up?"
