[QUOTE="whorrall, post: 460931, member: 24168"] In my opinion when companies say where to mount your cavitation plate in relation to the keel line, it is a shortcut for doing what you really should be doing, which is running your boat and seeing where the cavitation plate is in relation to the WATER level at plane (which as you know is different than the keel line). As you know the water on plane line level differs based on your setback and boat's loading/draft. I tweak all my setups with a jackplate like you do for best performance. Boat and motor manufactures tend to mount motors too low to avoid any liability for someone who raises their motor as high as it will go and then takes a sharp turn at WOT. 99% of people are happy with 90% of their performance and fuel economy.
