Ok, the outboard is mounted in the 3rd mounting bracket hole. The anti-ventilation plate is 3.5" above the bottom of hull (it's a stepped hull).
When at WOT (at full trim), the water pressure is 16 psi. If I tap the trim down switch once, the water pressure increases to 18 psi.
I am trying to maximize boat performance and would like to raise the motor (either on the transom or via a jackplate). But, I am concerned that the water pressure will drop further.
Looking for advice on how to raise motor and still keep maximum water pressure.
Thoughts?
