[QUOTE="after6tuning, post: 453288, member: 23764"] The previous owner put a jack plate on it and if I go up a pin, it cavitates under hard throttle. I asked why he put it on and he said because it had a long shaft motor. however when I measured the motor, it is a perfect fit without it. The bottom cavitation plate above the propeller is 3 inches higher than the bottom of the boat which is exactly how high the jack plate rises the motor. I have checked and I am getting water out of the pee tube and occasionally check under cruising and while it is hard to look backwards and keep the tiller straight, it seems like it is peeing as well under cruise and full throttle. I supposed at this time it is good for going through low water levels. I plan to take the boat to Anaa Marie Island on the 22nd of this month and want to have it back together beforehand. Wonder if I should leave the jack plate off and put motor directly on the transom???? BTW the holes in the cover was because it doesnt run well with cover on, I suspect it has an exhaust leak and now runs way better. The noise is minimal really. There are some holes on the back side. Notice I did not put a hole directly in front of the carburetor so a small splash or debris won't hurt. [/QUOTE]
