    JP Height after Lithiums

    How much did you have to drop? My sweet spot was 3.25-3.5 on my Bobs gauge and after putting in 3 Liths I had to drop a whole number. I first ran it on 3.25 like usual and the motor was way to high...Just curious if anyone else had to drop it that much. Ran it on 2.5 and it was about like it used to be with 40 gals of fuel in it.

    Curious if with the lithiums and after dialing in jackplate settings did you gain or lose top speed?

    Did you have to change jackplate settings or prop?

    It did seem that it ran better a little higher but difficult to tell. I switch props from 4 to 3 a lot to accommodate the water I am fishing and the load in the boat. I also run a G2 225HO that likes to run high anyway. I usually run 70 to 77 mph which might have increased but hard to tell because props are always adjusted. There is no blanket answer as every boat and load is different. Do I have regrets going to Lithium "Nope"

    Reorganized the boat after lithium's went in. Moved all the heavy stuff to the rear like the totes and totes of plastics and tools so with that there wasn't much change to the JP

    Did you end up losing or gaining top speed?

    its going to depend on how your prop is setup, on my 919 I dropped about 1" but this new 920 is acting different but it also has a 12" jack plate, when I run one of my props Mark setup for my 919 it runs better back up high but all the props he did for me like to run 1" higher than stock

    Im running the 28.5 Bravo which is what I run 99% of the time. Its usually on 3.25 or maybe a tad higher when I have a full tank of fuel. I noticed today I had a lot of side spray running little over 70 with it set on 2.5..Im wondering if my old LSS2 Xducer thats on the bottom/side of the JP is causing that. I need to hook my GoPro up next trip and see whats going on to cause that....I dropped the JP down to 2 and most of it went away....Weird.
