[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 508440, member: 3438"] OK, it sounds like you are in the middle trim position, which is usually perpendicular. Don't go further up/out, it won't get enough water. In its current position, I think it will take longer to get on plane, but will be likely to be the highest speed position. There is no way to tell for sure. Every set-up is different. Just have to test it, and then try the further in trim positions. Might have to lower the motor some. Also, could try side plates if you get some cavitation with trim all the way in. Also, look into adding a splash plate. The pods will help with the weight, but you will probably still need some redistribution. PS: I re-read your trim position. 2nd hole from top. If this is a "standard" 5-position manual trim, you might be past the perpendicular position. If you haven't yet, allot of good set-up info on [URL='https://www.outboardjets.com/boat-selection/']OutBoardJets[/URL]. Read the FAQs, too. [/QUOTE]
