[QUOTE="richg99, post: 235788, member: 4376"] If the motor is positioned so that the prop is CLOSEST to the boat ( in)..then the bow is forced down and the motor gets up on plane more easily...but normally is slowest in speed If the motor is positioned so that the prop is FURTHEST from the boat (out), then the boat's bow is UP and the boat will run the fastest at full speed...but is difficult to GET UP on plane. Since you can't change your position "on the fly" as you could with a hydraulic tilt/trim...you have to pick a mid-point. That mid-point can change depending on on number of factors....how many passengers; weight and position of your gas tank; batteries, tackle boxes; etc. Start in the middle and experiment. R [/QUOTE]
