Do You think I should move it up 1 or 2 holes? I will try to get better pics over the weekend. Thanks
I hear what Ferm's sayin' about stayin' in touch in a rough sea...but I like mine to be about 1/2" above the water on plane...least amount of drag, better fuel economy and top end...as long as YOUR BOAT will handle it that high...some will "blow out" in a turn...whether you like 'em like mine or Ferm's, sounds like yours can go up some...I think you'll like the result...

BTW...do you know how to raise/lower the motor using the trailer???
