E-TEC 60/40 JET

what impeller are you running and how far is the front of your shoe from the transom ?

I am running the stock aluminum 6 7/8" impeller and the motor is mounted directly to the transom. Not running any transom jack. Everything seems to be on the correct level. Front of foot level with bottom of boat. Have power trim and have trimmed it both ways. Checking MPH with a handheld GPS. Have done some tinkering with it lately but been to cold to get out and play with it and check it out.

I merc 40 jet 4 stroke will spin a sharpened aluminum auger about 5300. Be careful when you remove aluminum from your impeller. You should only remove it from the top never the bottom unless you know where and at what angle.

Welcome Moelkhunter. As fender66 said, we Missouri people need to stick together. Its good to have another tinboater from the south.. those of us "northerners" need some "where to fish" information on Clearwater for sure...
enjoy your new boat, sounds great
