[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 508446, member: 12995"] The front of the foot should be even with the bottom of the boat or tunnel so the rear of the foot will be lower. There needs to be a bit of an angle from the front (higher) to the back (lower) or you will get some porpoising and probably some major sprayback that comes up over the transom. I run with my motor like this and if I tilt it up much at all, the spray gets bad and it will lift the bow. It will help if you can post some pictures but it took me 3-4 adjustments to find the best height. I kept going up until it sprayed really bad and went back down 1 hole. I also had to add the transom shims to get it tucked up as far as possible to keep the bow down and reduce the porposiing. [ATTACH type="full" alt="lowe_trimmed1.jpg"]118333[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
