[QUOTE="ktoelke54, post: 471893, member: 21618"] The safest bet is to test. Consider the lowest part of the hull in front of the prop the bottom, counting the extrusions in the aluminum. On my boat this adds about one inch more than if I measure from the flat part. Also it makes a difference how much clearance between the cavitation plate and the prop. I have a Mercury that has less that 1/4”. My Tohatsu has 3/4. With the Mercury I have to have the cavitation plate down level with the lowest part of the hull or it blows out. The Tohatsu I can run a little higher. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
