[QUOTE="Paul Marx, post: 299893, member: 10834"] You can also raise the motor up even higher if you use a anticavitation plate and a cupped prop. I'm new here , but not new to running boats in flats. The less lower unit you have down in the water the faster and shallower you can run. The downside to this is when backing you aren't getting the full flow from the prop pushing you back . I highly recomend water pressure gauges on all motors. They tell you when you need to replace the water impeller and when your not getting a good flow of water for cooling. [/QUOTE]
