[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 473465, member: 12995"] Are you talking about the height the motor is mounted (2nd to last hole) or the maximum amount of trim the motor is pulled in? Does your boat porpoise if it's trimmed out too far? I had to add trim wedges to get mine tucked in as far as possible to get rid of the porpoising. If I start to trim it out, you can see the increase in the spray that comes back up over the transom of the boat. If you drop the motor too low, it can lead to too much spray and extra drag. When adjusting the height one bolt hole at a time, the only thing you can do is test it out on the water. I kept going one hole higher until I got too much spray and dropped it back down again. Can you post a picture of where your motor sits showing the foot as it hangs below the bottom of the boat. [/QUOTE]
