I'm wondering what a good manual jack plate height would be to start with. My rig will be a 2019 Ranger 520C, 2019 Mercury V8 250hp Pro XS FourStroke, with Power Poles removed (-~100 lbs.), and AGM/lead acid batteries replaced with 4 Relion lithium batteries (-~140 lbs.). With the back end weight reduced by about 240 lbs. I'm concerned with losing bow lift if the engine is too high.

Boat should be here next week from dealer. Thanks.
