    08 198VX jackplate height.

    Just put a 6” manual plate on and I can’t remember the measurements. Was it 3.5”? Yamaha HPDI

    3.5" PTP is what I have always read as a starting point for the 519 / 198 VX hulls.

    You can’t start there and go up 1/4” at a time till you loose speed or water pressure.

    Please be aware, if you add Lithium Batteries, the weight in the rear of the boat will change dramatically, totally changing the attitude of the boat. You have to readjust your jackplate accordingly. Ask me how I know.
