Is there a difference in running (jackplate) heights between the gen 1 torquemaster and the gen 2 wingmaster? I have repowered from a 250 ProXS 2s to the 250 ProXS 4s, both 20inch length.

Yes anything above 15 psi on water pressure u should be good. I run mine at 2in pad to prop and probley could go up some but 69 mph is fast enough for me .200 pro xs 4 stroke ,898 nitro 20ft 7 in
Definitely- you'll likely end up higher with the 4-stroke Torquemaster Model, and will also end up with a lower-pitch prop in nearly every situation.

I repowered and have 50 hours on my four stroke and you definitely have to run it different than the 2 stroke. I run it higher by a good quarter inch. Great motor you won’t regret the swap.

It’s currently mounted with the 3rd (center) holes. My 8” pro hi-jacker plate is as high as it can adjust. This is the height setting from my previous 2s with the old style lower. I think I’ll get the motor remounted to the higher bolt holes to allow for higher setting adjustments.

One hole up should give you adequate adjustment (you may possibly need to drop the plate back down at bit as that is 3/4" futher up).
