[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 436416, member: 13140"] I had both on almost identified boats. Given a choice the aftermarket CMC is better. You can set height without fooling with bolts that go thru the hull transom except when you install it. Due to the pivot point, as it lifts it also jacks the motor up. The set back lets it push the boat onto plane with less adjustment. The best feature of setback is going slow. The leverage away from the hull makes it steer better. I really like it a lot better than factory trim. Best of both worlds would be factory trim with a powered Jack-plate. Stacking units would give too much setback. Given a choice and not having a kick up feature that's still what I would do. How often do you hit stuff and are you above idle speed when you do? When I drag then I trim up. You have been boating long enough not to blindly plow into shallow water. But then again your waters may be full of obstacles and your motor needs to kick up. If so you answered your question but yes the CMC is better than factory trim despite the kick up feature. [/QUOTE]
