new guy_ new boat and a question

I'd be interested to hear how it performs on the water. From what I can see in the pictures, the motor appears to be mounted too high on the bracket. It looks as though you can drop it down to the lowest holes on the motor mount and possibly be close to where it should be. You want that cavitation plate on the lower unit to be close to even with the keel of the hull. Sometimes a bit deeper depending on the setback in inches the bracket places the motor.
