I have an Alumacraft 1442 NCS and just recently purchased a mercury 25hp short shaft with electric start. I didn't get the power trim and tilt because I run a lot of shallow water and need the motor to kick up if I hit a rock and then I discovered the CMC PT-35 which would give me the option to have power trim and tilt and still be safe if I hit something in the water. I guess where my question lies is I was reading the instructions and it states that when the motor is mounted to the cmc plate the cavitation plate should be roughly 1 to 3 inches above the bottom of the boat because with the 5 inch setback the water will shoot up into the motor. I figured that would be true for a much heavier boat but not for a Jon Boat. has anyone installed one of these and found that sweet spot to mount it? [-o<
