[QUOTE="clarkbre, post: 191230, member: 2634"] It really depends on where your cavitation plate sits in relation to the bottom of your boat. If its within an inch or so I wouldn't worry about it. However, if its more than an inch i'd adjust it to sit even with the bottom of the boat. In my case, the cavitation plate on my suzuki sat 6" lower than the bottom of the boat. This created lots of drag and poor overall performance. Raising the motor gave it a better hole shot, less drag, and improved/smoothed out top end performance. Hope this info helps. Let us know if you have more questions. [/QUOTE]
