[QUOTE="surfman, post: 466823, member: 7404"] You want to mount the motor as high as possible without it blowing out. The lower anti-ventilation plate is the one you go by. It should be level with the bottom of the boat or at the most 1" above. I doubt you will get it much higher without it blowing out. When the motor blows out you will notice and increase in RPM and the boat will slow down. If it slowed after raising it then you may have been on the verge of it blowing out or you may just need to adjust the trim a little, you may need to trim the motor down slightly when you raise it. Use a straight edge on the bottom of the boat to determine how high the motor is mounted, your eye will deceive you. [/QUOTE]
