Subject: Re: Moving motor up to improve performance?


From what I know, the dealers will mount it in the recommended placement based upon their instructions from the boat manufacturers. I went round and round with the man who rigged my last boat and ended up settling on the third hole up...he wouldn't go any higher. In the end, I ended up moving the motor up on my own....

Now, my motor sits on a 4" setback plate that allowed me to move it higher yet...so I am right on the edge for handling purposes in cornering. I must trim down if I go into any type of turn....but...the higher the mounting, the faster the boat goes...to a point.
