[QUOTE="bplayer405, post: 482337, member: 18255"] Took mine back out over the weekend to check for leaks and test my adjusted outboard height. I dropped it to 4⅞", a compromise between the two heights I've had it and a fear of going too low. This time I went alone and the outboard performed great with the cavitation plate just on top of the water. I haven't experienced any tiller steer with this outboard even too far out of the water. Weird thing is it will run at almost full throttle and I can let go of the tiller and it doesn't reduce speed (don't really care for that). Anyways, there's no slippage or cavitation in turns, but now I have a porpoising issue above 22mph, goes 28. Not a problem with my normal fishing partner. My fuel tank, battery and anchors are all up front. Guess I'll be putting my starting battery up front also. Using all aluminum for the front deck framing to keep this boat as light as possible didn't turn out the way I expected... Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
