Thanks - cavitation plate is even with the hull bottom when the engines down.

Based on assorted feedback, I'm planning to raise the motor, after I confirm where the cav plate is positioned when the boats up on plane.

Additional option is drop to the 17" prop, both towards goal of running 50 mph +

At that point, I'll know it's all set to run at maximum efficiency 3,000 - 4,000 rpms where I run the boat 90 + % of the time, besides trolling.

Here's Greene's Rude before the Etec...

I'd set it two holes higher than you have it. You really should be able to spin that 18.

One guy to hold up the engine - one guy to move the bolts.

How hard can that be ?

Where's Ted Arcidi ...... or Bill Kazmier when you need him ?

You can actually do it w/the trailer tongue jack...let the tongue all the way down...but wooden blocks under the skeg and drop the motor's weight onto the blocks...have a couple of guys steady the motor and remove the bolts...continue raising the tongue jack until the transom holes are in line w/the holes you want in the bracket...seal and reinstall the bolts...off ya go!!...I did this w/the Merc...works like a charm...
