shawnfish said:should your cavitation plate be level with your hull? if its not is a jack plate the solution? and what would be the negatives if it is not level with hull? thanks...

Plus or minus an inch or two:
15" = short
20" = long
25" = xlong
An inch or so below is normal, and believe that is where most/all my outboards fall on my hulls, without additional adjustment. You can typically raise an engine 3/4-1" by just putting a block under the motor. Just make sure you still have a strong transom mounting, bolt thru or clamps.
