[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 492046, member: 3438"] Thx guys, The method that Dale mentioned, I've used to raise the bowrider off the bunks to clean the hull. Never thought of it for raising the motor. :rolleyes: Like many boats the motor came mounted lower than probably ideal. Outboard Jets recommends mounting even with the top of the tunnel, and test from there. It is 3/4" low and want to try even. I did add side fins and will be adding a splash plate on tunnel. Both of which help with preventing cavitation and allowing for higher mounting. [/QUOTE]
