189TRX Mercury 4 Stroke Setup help
Bought new in March. Done my break in and now trying to set it up. From dealer 4 3/4 pad to prop. 21 tempest plus 52 gps. @ 5800 with water spray ahead of the console. No lift in the front. Researched how other owners had set their boats up. 3 3/4 to 3 was the average. I set mine up at 3 1/2 and got 42 gps 5800 with no lift and it feels like it’s blowing out. No lift and water spray ahead of the console. I read the how tos on leveling the bottom of the boat and motor then measuring pad to prop. Simple enough to do in my shop. I’m running a light and with a half tank. Welcome any advice. Old mechanic scratching his head on this one
