Check to see which holes your motor is mounted in. If you can trim it a long ways I'd bet you can move it up a hole or two.


I would disagree with this statement... If you can trim it a long way and nothing happens, this is usually a symptom of needing to move the motor DOWN as it is not biting the water as well as it should.

In most cases this is a propeller issue, most of which can be attributed to running aluminum on a bigger boat with higher horsepower. at 90hp and above, a good steel prop can do wonders for both handling and speed...and motor heights.
