[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 491350, member: 3278"] [size=5]Very true on safety. Until you establish your optimum mount height you would be wise to avoid sharp corners with a higher throttle angle. That is the condition where engines twist (sideways) up and off the transom. Tie a line around the midsection through the gap between the exhaust housing and steering tube then secure it to the boat. Make sure the line is longer than you think it should be. If you are really serious about optimizing you will eventually get into propeller modifications. Make this decision now before you drill your transom as modified props allow you to run higher than production props will. Some aftermarket propellers have this capability already.
