[QUOTE="Rat, post: 139383, member: 1914"] On the motor you want the anti-ventilation plate to be just at the water level when on plane. I know you don't want to make more holes on the transom, but it will be worth it to get the motor right. You can even put a small manual jack plate on it, in the original holes probably, and then get the motor height right. If you are going to rebuild the transom this Winter I would get it perfect and then build the new transom based on what you found to be the right height. Sealing the holes with some carriage bolts and 4200 will make it watertight in the meantime. [/QUOTE]
