I did some searching but couldn’t find anything. I remember someone posting about this years ago. I have a Alumacraft Dom sport with a 90 on it. Only getting about 35 MPH on the Gps and only about 5100 RPM WOT with a 17 pitch prop. I am reading on the internet I should be closer to 6000 RPM and 40 MPH with that setup. So I am thinking that my motor is too low. I have read that you run a line down the keel and the cav plate should be above this line. So my question is should I raise up? and if I do how high should I go? Do I put the line on the actual keel or the botom of the boat? this makes about an inch difference. Also do I measre the motor with it in the all the way down position or the trimmed position where I will be running?
Thanks for all the help in advance. This site is great for advice!
