[QUOTE="S.E.R.E.NITY NOW, post: 513760, member: 35499"] I know that the cavitation plate should be level with the bottom of the transom but I can't raise my motor any higher than an inch. As it is now the clamps are only half an inch from the top of the transom and cavitation plate is still 1.5" below the transom. Is this enough to worry about? It's a 9.9 on a 13ft Smokercraft so I would like it set to be as efficient as possible. Overall weight is roughly 575 lbs with just me in it with roughly 100lbs of it being at the bow. I could add a jack plate but I'd rather not. Especially if the benefit to getting it level with the transom will be miniscule compared to how it sits now. [/QUOTE]
