[QUOTE="airshot, post: 491326, member: 1183"] One simple method is to take a straight edge up against the bottom of your boat, slid it toward the rear until you get to the cav plate on your motor. That cav plate should be same height as the bottom of your boat. A half inch one way or the other wont make a big difference. Generally the cav plate should also be parallel to the bottom, so adjust your trim before setting your height. This quick and easy setup will get you very close. The only other issue I can see is the weight of that big 4 stroke...let us know what you figure out.... [/QUOTE]
