my setup is Z-7 with 175 Pro Xs. 8" jackplate
installed twin blades a little while back and speed dropped from 67 to 63. Thought it was due to weight but I just realized the poles are dragging water at WOT. Anyone with a similar set up tell me which brackets you are using? I have s-2-2 and PP suggests going with s-2-6 but cant guarantee the poles will clear the boarding ladder. kids love to jump off the boat so I have to keep that functional. The top of the jackplate is level with the top of the transom and the brackets are flush to the top of the jackplate. if I raise the brackets anymore the steering ram will hit them when tilting the motor. the s-2-6 will raise the mounting location by 4" but also move them out another 2"... would really like to get my speed back up so I can start playing with props and try to hit 70!
