[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 473472, member: 12995"] Trimmed in all the way works best for my setup when it's just me in the boat. If I add any people, it usually needs to be trimmed out a little because the extra weight helps keep the bow down usually. When the foot is tucked in farther, it seems like it can get water in easier. But the real issue will still be the spray back. My motor was manual tilt when I first put it on the boat and I still had it tucked in all the way. I'm usually running solo on the river so I never did adjust it manually. I bought a power tilt/trim setup so I can fine tune the positioning and make it easier to tilt but I run it trimmed in all the way. But I also have a tunnel jet hull so I'm mounted higher and splash back is a bigger issue for me. Here's a picture of my motor trimmed in all the way and you can see the transom wedges as well. There is spray, but it does not come over the back of the boat. [/QUOTE]
