[QUOTE="Go Fish, post: 212061, member: 6062"] Unless I missed it somewher in the posts there is no mention of the location of the cavitation plate relative to the water when the boat is underway. On plane, the cavitation plate should be no more than a half inch above to a half inch below the water that is flowing around it. The relation of the cavitation plate to the bottom of the hull has little to do with the correct motor height set-up. Get that sucker up on plane in flat water and stick your head back there to see where the cavitation plate is riding. If it is too high or too low it can cause the problems you are experiencing. Too High = prop comes partially out of the water during a turn and cavitates Too Low = areated water gets sucked into the prop and it cavitates. [/QUOTE]
