[QUOTE="richg99, post: 177880, member: 4376"] I've had both hydraulic and manual jackplates. I have a manual on my Caro Skiff now. The "normal" rule of thumb is " for every two inches BACK...you can raise the engine one inch". We do it down here in the TX flats to gain shallow running capability. The farther back, the "cleaner" the water is, so they say. Bass boat guys do it to gain speed. I can't help there. I'd start in the middle setting and see, but do not starve your engine for water cooling. Watch the "p@sser stream". Rich [/QUOTE]
