Took a good look today - cav plate is UNDER the water on plane with the exception of fully trimmed out max / WOT - then it's above water.
Genie Ayre - how does that compare to your set up ? I'm planning to raise TWO holes - that's about 1.5" -2" and re test speed and overall performance. |

I don't know anything about the build of your engine, but I wonder where the water intake(s) are on it. Will raising it up that high put you at risk of no water intake at high speed? Just something to think about.

Mine was lined up with the bottom of the boat-- I raised it--look at picture. No issues with turning or ocean conditions creating cavitation. Mine was underwater too--no longer. sorry about the pictures

Doesn't look much higher than mine - thought I'd see it way up on a jack plate LOL.

Difference is we have different transoms, yours is going to be deeper in the water than mine to start with--mine got moved up to holes from where it was mounted--cavitation plate is now where it should be in the water. You trim enough up and you can make any engine cavatate.

With your engine down all the way, how much higher is your cav plate from the bottom of the hull ?
