    In order to get more lift when WOT would I raise or lower jack plate?

    Re: Little help (okdport)

    Depends on the symptoms.

    *IF*...
    You are throwing a high roostertail, steering is very stiff, and especially if you let off the throttle and you feel the prop catch and lift, then you're too high.
    *IF*
    You have no roostertail, steering is numb, and you aren't feeling the boat has enough go to get it done, you very well might be too low.

    1/2" can be all the difference between too high and too low.
