[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 471851, member: 7376"] Yup start at 3" and work your way up from there. There's a lot of dependencies (prop, hull, etc) but 3" up is probably a good starting point. Only one I know of that couldn't run at 3" was an older Mercury that had the exhaust coming out under the AV plate, which aerated the prop and made it blow out while attempting to plane. Had to drop that one a little; and it solved it. I want to say it ended up around 1" above but I don't remember for sure. [/QUOTE]
