[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 264311, member: 4469"] The cavitation plate should be right at the bottom of the transom, give or take a little. So the whole prop is getting water below the boat. Adjust the trim so your lower unit is perpindicular to the bottom of the keel of the boat. That 5.5 is not gonna get your boat on plane although I have to admit I am always surprised at the claims made on this forum concerning hp and mph. Lets see some pictures of this setup, lower unit, prop, boat, etc.. Tim [/QUOTE]
