[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 464523, member: 7376"] Everybody makes their boats differently, and everybody makes their motors differently. There's minor differences in lengths between all of the motor manufacturers. One might be 15.6", another 15.0", etc. Then the angle of the transom is different between boat builders; the keel is deeper on some than on others, the "vee" angle is different between different boats, etc etc. So that's why you have to "play" with your setup. If you're getting spray between the transom & clamp, the motor's too deep. Raise it up & it should solve the spray issue AND pick up some speed. They all tell you to start with a low mounting so that you don't run out & burn up your motor. [/QUOTE]
