[QUOTE="perchin, post: 155799, member: 2620"] lol... you guys are funny. its just a matter of leverage. If you raise the motor there is more leverage pushing the front end DOWN, not because of the location of the prop, rather the attachment point. As far as doing this with a 15 hp.... I believe I already previously stated that the smaller hp motors don't effect it much. I also agree though that if you support your homemade jack plate with knee-brackets it helps a lot. I guess I'll draw up a diagram tonight.... our last boat had this exact problem, so I'm not just guessing.... though maybe we had a odd boat. At about 3/4 throttle to WOT it would start to dig. Put on the same hp motor but the correct size and VIOLA. [/QUOTE]
