right now the bow of my boat is down when I’m on plane then when I trim up it’s gets to about level I measured the pad and all the very best I could on level ground boat was level and the motor was as well the measurements are 9-1/2” from prop shaft to floor, and pad to floor was 14”. I’m not to sure if that’s what’s causing that I’m running a 26 pitch tempest prop on a 225 merc. Not too much stuff in front boxes. Thanks for your help.
