[QUOTE="Jimbeau, post: 491369, member: 31884"] Hello. I put the boat in the water yesterday. First time with the new motor installed! Accomplished two hours of the break in procedure. She ran great except it reaches the rev limiter about 1/8” to 1/4” prior to reaching the mechanical stop. My dealer’s mechanic says to lower the tilt. I tried that yesterday but I did not go to the lowest possible hole because it seemed plenty low enough. I started out with the trim in the level position (middle hole), then tried one hole up and one hole down from the middle. No luck. The mechanic says to lower the tilt all the way down to the lowest hole. I’m considering, based on another tinboat thread recommendation, going with a small jack plate. Does anyone know if this will help or hurt my RPM situation? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
