[QUOTE="Sinktip, post: 325086, member: 11438"] I have a buddy in the marine parts business and he got me the CMC PT-35 at his cost. I opened the box tonight and began reading about the install instructions from the manual. The manual says the cav plate should be about 1-3" above the bottom of the transom. I would say this means mine needs to come up a lot, however I am worried about putting it too high and then ventilating the prop. Given that this unit is about 2.5" below the floor I think I have room to go up an inch or two. However I have also heard that these shorter hulls are more sensitive to the height than others. Another consideration that makes me lean towards higher, is that there always seemed to be a lot of drag on the leg; there was always a lot of water splashing into the boat from in front of the leg. Maybe this will help? Any suggestions would be welcome. [/QUOTE]
