    I’ll check my motor mounting location. But yeah at 9 dots I’m still at 2.25 inches ptp. It was 2.75 when I got the boat. At 2.75 the boat I could tell was no where near close. Plowed water, blew out, slipped, ect. At 2.5 it was all better so at 2.25 I’m hoping it’s getting as close as possible without prop work. If I can get it to run 70 loaded I’m going to call it good. What is minimum psi at wot.

    My motor must be mounted higher. At 9 full dots showing and closer to 10 I’m still at 2 1/4 to 2 3/8 and running 18 psi wide open.

    You’re measuring to the prop shaft nut and not the nosecone, right?

    You can measure dead center of the nose cone as well but you will have to add 1/2” to the measurement as the center of the prop shaft is exactly a 1/2” lower than the center of the nose cone

    Measure should be around 3 inches from c/l of prop shaft to hull

    I just took a look to see why I’m having my plate up so high. It appears that the jack plate is mounted about 1 inch below the rub rail on the transom. Maybe they changed something in 2019. I haven’t run it yet showing 9 dots on the plate but to me each time i move it up it helps a bit
