    Neutral trim angle: How do I find it?

    I am trying to find Neutral trim. I have boat leveled, cavitation plate level. Is this Neutral trim? MercMonitor is showing 6.6 trim angle. Could be I've setup MercMonitor wrong.
    Setup like this, my boat 2014 crestliner vt 17 pro will jump out of the water "porpoise", at around 4 maybe 5 on trim angle MercMonitor. 6.6 is going to be way to much. At 3.9 to 4 the boat will free up, steering becomes light.

    Thanks

    You are at your neutral trim, but the transom probably has 6.6* of tuck.

    That hull has 10 degrees of tuck.
