    New Mercury v8 Four Stroke- PVS plugs, what are you running?

    So to my understanding four strokes in general, and the new Mercury V8 typically like more back pressure/ and more holes plugged in the pvs system. I mostly deal with bass cat guy on various forums and face book groups and cannot get a general consensus on the matter of what everyone's running (they are all over some none, some plugged). So I figured I would ask here regardless of brand. My 2021 Eyra/ V8 4s cavitated so hard with a bravo xs that I nearly had almost all but 2-3 holes plugged off for the best hole shot. I also have since been running my 24/3 fury on there, and it seems to get the best hole shot with all holes plugged or 2 solids and one large hole plug. I still have to ease off the throttle when the nose breaks over to keep the rpms down. What's everyone been doing on their Four stroke v8s PVS plug system?
