[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 498025, member: 21552"] My understanding of setting the motor back off the transom is to get the prop in cleaner water (Less bubbles). I'd be looking back when up on plane an see where your anti-cavitation plate is riding. It is my opinion that it should skate across the top of the water surface, below that and you are just adding drag and slowing the boat, making steering more tricky etc. Of course with the right boat, low water pickups and prop you can ride with the gearcase out of the water and just the blades pushing on the bottom half of the swing.
